THE VOICES OF THE ABOLITION

Zoominar series “Slavery and Early Modern Philosophy"

Huaping Lu-Adler and Julia Jorati are hosting a series of talks on 'Slavery and Early Modern Philosophy'. The talks are on zoom, but they are also posting the recordings here. 

​The first two talks, which I've just listened to were Carrie Shanafelt, Yeshiva University, “National Debt, Nationalized Complicity: Cugoano and Bentham on Political Economy”
and Iziah Topete, Boston College, “From Experience to Concept: Equiano on Equality”

Both are super clear and interesting, and the quality of the recordings is excellent, so it won't make your head ache to listen to them. 

I was particularly pleased to see that Topete, who has already published excellent work on Cuguano (see, for instance his 
Cugoano on Redressing Slavery: The Demands of Liberty, in 
Journal of Modern Philosophy, 2025), is now working on Equiano. I look forward to reading more about it.

    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.
