The Stuart Hall Foundation

The Stuart Hall Foundation is pleased to announce our 2026 programme expands on the theme In Search of Common Ground, continuing to consider the role of difference in building solidarities within contemporary Britain and beyond.

On Wednesdays, I’m hosting a ten-part radio series on English Culture through the mind of Professor Stuart Hall @ResonanceFM Features never-before-heard recordings from lectures delivered in the mid-1980s - the height of Thatcherism. 11am-midday (BST) resonancefm.com

The first event of our 2026 programme welcomes Fred Moten to Conway Hall as keynote speaker of the 9th Annual Stuart Hall Public Conversation on Saturday 23rd May. In-person tickets are sold out. Book now for the online livestream: stuarthallfoundation.org/events/9th-ann…

Discussing her experience writing the Prize-winning essay, Harriet said: “Writing the essay allowed me to engage with Stuart Hall’s ideas in a way that felt both intellectual and personal... What struck me most is how relevant his work remains today.”

Judges Catherine Hall, Jo Littler and Kennetta Hammond Perry praised its “extrapolation of the hybrid histories of [fencing], its grasp of the neoliberal dynamics shaping its present, and its deft threading through of personal experience to tell the story on multiple levels.”

The 2nd Stuart Hall Essay Prize is awarded to Harriet Hillier for the essay “Choosing a Nation: Identity, Belonging, and Representation in International Sport”. Learn more about the Prize and read the winning essay in full on our website now: stuarthallfoundation.org/awards/the-2nd…
