Funded by the AHRC under the auspices of the Connected Communities programme, this project has been examining textiles in the Derbyshire Peak District UK, a crucial location in the development of the British cotton industry. It has been working with local community groups from the African and Asian diasporas to rethink and reinterpret cotton history narratives from a more global perspective.
