Professor Adi was the first historian of African heritage to become a professor of history in Britain when he was appointed Professor of the History of Africa and the African Diaspora at the University of Chichester in 2015. In 2018 he launched the world’s first online MRes in the History of Africa and the African Diaspora which trained many students including six currently engaged in PhD research.

Jesus Rojas is an English Professor and outspoken revolutionary dedicated to the principles of Bolivarianism. A committed Chavista, he actively advocates for the legacy of Hugo Chávez and the socio-political transformation of Venezuela. As a staunch anti-imperialist, his academic work and political activism are driven by a firm opposition to foreign intervention and a passion for Latin American sovereignty.
