She has led two international teams exploring Caribbean in/securities and creativity – CARISCC (funded by Leverhulme) and CARICUK (funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council). She also commissioned the report ‘Supervising Black Geography PhD Researchers in the UK’, funded by the Royal Geographical Society (RGS) and authored by Victoria Ogoegbunam Okoye.

- Summary: Learning from her 2021 AHRC-funded fellowship ‘Creative Approaches to Race and In/security in the Caribbean and the UK’, Pat Noxolo will consider the geographies of Black creativity and in/security as they are lived online. How does Black creativity in language and imagery move differently online, and what are the risks that we navigate if we choose (or don’t choose) to move online?
