This spring Slavery North invites you to a series of five dynamic talks by our fellows. Our interdisciplinary cohort of scholars and artists have each pursued their own independent research on Transatlantic Slavery in Canada or the U.S. North during their fellowships at Slavery North. This series brings fresh perspectives on the field of Transatlantic Slavery Studies and shares recently uncovered archival finds.
