The King's Race Research Network (KRRN) is an interdisciplinary network of scholars of race based at King's College London. The network currently counts 80 members across all departments and faculties. Our research focuses on race and racism in all its manifestations, including colour racism, Islamophobia, and antisemitism, from large-scale structures to individual attitudes.

KRRN members have assessed the systemic production of racial inequality in diverse settings such as the healthcare system, the history curriculum, and King's College London itself. Our research spans historical contexts from sixteenth-century Spain to 21st-century Britain.

As a group, we believe that the study of racial domination requires crossing the disciplinary divisions imposed by our institutions to create novel and more complex methodologies.
