معرفی
Kerry Pimblott is a Lecturer in International History at the University of Manchester, specializing in modern U.S. history with a focus on urban history, labor movements, theology, and African diaspora studies. She earned her B.A. in American Studies at King's College London and her PhD in History at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her research examines the intersections of race, class, and radical activism, particularly through the lens of Black Power movements and transnational religious networks.
Key contributions include her book *Faith in Black Power: Religion, Race, and Resistance in Cairo, Illinois* (2017), which re-examines the role of religion in the Black Power Movement. Current projects explore global dimensions of Black Power, including activist travel and transnational religious institutions. Pimblott has held fellowships from the Dorothy G. Quinn Foundation, Illinois Historic Preservation Society, and the Center for Democracy in a Multiracial Society. She co-leads an AHRC-funded project on Black Power in the UK and is a founding member of the University of Manchester's Race, Roots & Resistance Collective, advocating for anti-racist and decolonial practices in academia.
Her recent work critiques security practices in universities and challenges state violence against marginalized communities. Pimblott’s publications span book reviews, policy reports (e.g., on Taser use by police), and interdisciplinary analyses of social movements. Her research is driven by community-based methodologies and a commitment to fostering diverse academic pipelines.
