Events and Projects

We host a variety of different events including lectures, seminars, fieldtrips, and symposiums that aim to discuss the stories of enslaved people, and educate others about historical and contemporary slavery. Our events are open to all.

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.

When slavery in the US was abolished in 1865, Georgia Penitentiary received hundreds of former slaves and their descendants. In the shadow of the 2024 US Election, this documentary explores the connections between the ending of enslavement and the growth of mass incarceration over a 150-year period.
