Brought to you by the Postgrad Race, Ethnicity and Post-Colonial Studies Working Group, Riots Reframed is a feature-length documentary which reframes England's 2011 riots through voices of resistance.
Riots Reframed is a feature-length documentary which reframes England’s 2011 riots through voices of resistance – threading these perspectives together using moody instrumentals, dramatic monologue and raw spoken word. Riots Reframed is a poetic but fierce challenge to the system we live under--a radical social commentary grounded in knowledge and art that synthesises a number of voices, from prominent social, cultural and political analysts, to prisoners still recovering from time inside.

The Race Ethnicity and Post-Colonial Studies (REPS) PhD Network provides a space for PhD students to collaborate across the research areas of race, ethnicity and postcolonial studies, and is a platform for developing and nurturing new thinking in these areas. The REPS PhD Network is based at the Sociology Department at the London School of Economics and is run by PhD students in the Department. The Network also seeks to actively engage with other researchers, research departments and universities in order to develop a supportive REPS research community. Annually, the LSE REPS PhD Network puts on a department sponsored REPS Seminar Series which include invited guest lectures, film screenings and student discussion groups.
