Cohesion and Conflict: Enslaved Society on Turner's Hall Plantation

A Wilberforce Institute public lecture from Robyn Crombie on Cohesion and Conflict: Enslaved Society on Turner's Hall Plantation, Barbados, 1755-1834

Robyn Crombie graduated from the University of Hull in 2014 and went on to do her masters in Historical Research at the University of Sheffield. She began her PhD with a GTA Scholarship in 2021 at Sheffield Hallam, and her thesis is a microhistory of a Barbadian sugar plantation in the era of transatlantic enslavement.

The Wilberforce Institute Public Lectures programme:

We are delighted to be partnering once again with Hull Museums to offer attendees at our public lectures the chance to visit Wilberforce House Museum next door before joining us for the event.

Lectures will begin at 4 pm and will take place at our home in Oriel Chambers, 27 High Street, Hull, HU1 1NE. We are very grateful to Hull Museums for their generous support of the Wilberforce Institute’s public lecture programme, and we hope many of you will take the opportunity to explore their fascinating exhibitions beforehand.

Refreshments will be available from 3:45 pm, and we warmly invite you to stay afterwards for a glass of wine and the chance to chat with our speaker.

A limited number of in-person tickets are available. If you are unable to join us in Hull, you can still enjoy the lecture online – please select the appropriate ticket type when booking.
