Welcome to my new blog!
Before I add any content, I wanted to pay tribute to the beautiful location for my research. As well as having access to everything the University of York has to offer, including the amazing King's Manor library, the city of York has plenty of useful and beautiful resources. This week I'll be mostly working in the Explore Library and Archives, a lovely big building located in the Museum Gardens, home to Medieval buildings and a ruined abbey. I will be looking up local history relevant to my project - lots of abolitionists spent time in York - and spending my breaks (weather allowing) sketching old stones and pretty trees in the garden. So watch this space for posts on Olaudah Equiano and on the Fairfax family of York in the coming weeks.

Recovering Marginalised Voices of the Abolitionist Debates.Between September 2024, and August 2028, I will be British Academy Global Professor at the University of York. My project is to study the abolionist debates of France and Britain in the 18th century, and in particular, to uncover marginalised voices from that debate. Here I blog about what I find out in the process. Archives
