Introduction

Exploring the history of unfree labour and examining modern slavery, this MA reflects a growing interest in the histories and afterlives of transatlantic slavery.

The programme connects the local and the global. Well reflect, for example, on Liverpools role as the former 鈥榗apital of the slave trade and review slave and unfree labour across different time periods and geographical locations.

Well challenge you to analyse historical forms of slavery and critique modern responses to human trafficking. Evaluating the legacies of slavery in contemporary society, youll apply critical and literary theories to different representations of slavery. Links with resistance, protest and activism will also be considered.

Youll benefit from our unique relationship with the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool. Working with the Museums staff, youll study the commemoration and memorialisation of slavery. An optional project-based placement provides further opportunity to gain practical experience with a museum, archive or charity.

Membership of the Universitys Centre for the Study of International Slavery will enable you to access a variety of seminars and conferences. Youll meet international speakers at these events, attend talks and discuss cutting-edge research into historical and contemporary manifestations of slavery.
