Knowledge Exchange and Impact Grant: 'Beyond Memory, Towards Action: Reparations for Slavery'

Funds have been awarded (£2944) to bring academics and non-academic stakeholders (notably activists, curators, government-linked groups and the media) into dialogue through a three-day networking event designed to share knowledge concerning the possibility of reparations for slavery from multiple national and global perspectives. This event will additionally allow me to place my own research on memories of slavery and reparations in France into an overtly cross-disciplinary and international context. The event will be hosted within the context of the 150th anniversary of the Thirteenth Amendment, which formally abolished slavery in the US in 1865.
