Events
We also work on multiple collaborative projects throughout the year to bring together academics to develop an understanding of slavery past and present. We aim to create a base of knowledge that today’s thinkers can use to understand and tackle slavery in the present, while also focusing on reparations and decolonisation.
Tickets for events are available on our Ticket Source page.
Upcoming Events
Liverpool, Slavery and Church of England: starting a journey of truth-telling, healing and repair
3rd December 2024 (3:00pm)
We are thrilled to announce the date for the final webinar in our Truth Telling: Slavery and the Anglican Church series. This webinar spotlights the journey in the Liverpool city region which has begun to confront and address the Anglican church's involvement in the traffic and enslavement of Africans and its legacies.
This is a panel discussion between local historians/activists and those working for change within the Church. It will not only outline the truth to be told, but also share experiences and considerations of further actions for repair which can contribute to communities’ journeys, in the region and beyond, towards racial justice and healing.
