<span style="color:#212121">The Stuart Hall Archive Project is hosting an international conference—‘Stuart Hall: Positions and Trajectories’—providing an opportunity to assess the lasting significance of Hall’s cultural, political and pedagogical interventions
 throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Hall made interventions across a diverse range of knowledge disciplines, cultural practices, and political formations, often identifying, clarifying and transforming major debates of his time. Subsequently,
 Hall’s work has been taken up by, and extended, in a number of directions. The conference will bring together researchers who are investigating the history of Hall’s intellectual and political formation and development, with those who work in critical dialogue
 with Hall’s work in the analysis and transformation of the present. Open to artists, cultural and political activists, as well as scholars working in cultural studies and arts, humanities and the social sciences, ‘Stuart Hall: Positions and Trajectories’ aims
