Regional workshops and research 2010

During 2010 we held a series of workshops in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Newcastle with the aim of building a network of people interested in slave-ownership and its legacies in nineteenth-century Britain.

Each workshop included a presentation by the LBS team outlining the scope of the LBS project and a presentation on slave-ownership relevant to each regional audience. Members of local communities discussed their work and their plans for future research, and for the presentation of material previously solicited from the audience.  The audience responded through structured Q&A sessions and gave very valuable feedback from each day.

These workshops were part of UCL's Public Engagement Initiative and were funded by the Beacon Innovation Seed Fund.
