Liza Hong (Australian National University)
“Transpacific Solidarities – Pantherised Maoism and the Black Panther Party of Australia”
Liza Hongis is a research officer at the Australian National University’s Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research. Her research focuses on the transnational and intellectual history of the Australian Black Panther Party and global Maoism across Pasifika. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Politics and Economics of East Asia from Ruhr-University Bochum and a Master’s degree in Asian and Pacific Studies from the Australian National University.
Maha Al-Haddad (University of Cambridge)
“Racialised experiences, practices of coloniality, and joint struggles: Black-Palestinian Transnational Solidarity Networks”
Maha Al-Haddad is a PhD candidate at the Centre of Development Studies at the University of Cambridge, where she has also earned her MPhil degree. Her research examines Black- American and Palestinian solidarity networks as they develop and strengthen within the contemporary day, focusing on the commonalities and joint struggles that emerge from shared experiences of racialised violence and which underpin renewed solidarity efforts. Her research also examines the role digital activism has on solidarity networks and the way digital spatialities affect the formation and manifestation of these solidarities.

Since 2009, the seminar has sought to expand and challenge perspectives in transnational and global history. We aim to provide a platform for graduate students and academics who are early career, precarious or from the Global South.
We seek new voices and fresh perspectives to help us do the same. Our TGHS family is looking to expand! If you are a graduate student in history or an associated discipline at Oxford University and like what we have been doing or have ideas about what we could be doing and want to get involved, email us at admin@oxfordtghs.com. We would love to hear from you!
