Sesihle Manzini

Robert Beckford PhD is professor of Black Theology at Queen's

Beckford is a BAFTA award winning documentary filmmaker. He has written and presented over twenty films for the BBC, Channel 4 and Discovery USA. His films explore a range of themes including political critiques of the British Empire, biblical history and popular culture.

Robert’s creative reach extends into drama and black British urban music production.

Beckford’s current research is a practical theo-musicological project ‘The Jamaican Bible Remix Project’. Taking the form of a studio album, the project inscribes black liberation theology in urban music (grime, drum and bass, and UK Soul) .(//www.queens.ac.uk)
