This fall, Slavery North invites you to a series of three talks by our fellows. Our interdisciplinary cohort of scholars and artists each pursue independent research on Canadian Slavery and slavery in the US North during their fellowships. This series brings fresh perspectives on the field of Transatlantic Slavery Studies and shares recently uncovered archival finds. All Fellow Talks are free and open to the public.
