Discover Black Oxford

Join the inaugural Black Heritage Bus & Walking Tour with an expert guide

Take a one-of-a-kind journey back in time and into the present to discover the rich narratives of Black scholars who have made a lasting impact in academia, law, politics, and the arts.

Walk the paths they walked and explore the spaces where they exchanged ideas, nurtured their intellects, and made a difference, with expert insights from the friendly and skilled tour guides.

The highlight of the tour on August 10th, September 14th and October 5th, 6th, 12th and 13th, will be the engaging bespoke live commentary curated by author and historian Pamela Roberts, who’ll breathe life into the stories she so meticulously researched and studied, all while enjoying spectacular views of Oxford from the comfort of the bus.

Pamela is an award-winning creative producer, historian, and published author. She produces creative projects utilising archival or academic information, making projects accessible to the wider public by removing barriers of accessibility or academic jargon to present and bring untold stories to life via theatre, media, literature, lectures and tours.

The author of Black Oxford: The Untold Stories of Oxford University’s Black Scholars, her work as Founder and Director of Black Oxford Untold Stories has raised the profile of many black scholars at the University of Oxford.
