As a community of researchers, we are committed to disciplinary excellence and to interdisciplinary research that will benefit society on a national and international level.
We collaborate with academic partners, NGOs, museums and businesses, and act as a forum for academic discourse and interaction on slavery past and present.
We aim to maximise the benefits of research by advancing fundamental knowledge of slavery and emancipation, contributing to better public policy, social cohesion, community identity, education, the arts and the heritage sector.
