HistoryLab+<\/a>, the UK\u2019s national network for early career historians, invites you to the University of Hull\u2019s Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation<\/a> on 25-26 July 2024 for our annual conference: a space to share cutting edge research, to develop research collaborations, and to find a community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event will showcase the wide ranging research being done by early career historians that develops our knowledge of how, historically, humans have exploited other humans\u2014by forcing them to work against their will and\/or by opposing fair working conditions\u2014for personal or commercial gain, and these actions\u2019 aftereffects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will include a workshop about how to engage the public with challenging colonial histories in the heritage and arts sectors, featuring the leaders behind Theatre in the Mill\u2019s \u2018Bussing Out\u2019 exhibition<\/a>, the Uncomfortable York Walking Tours<\/a>, the eCommemoration<\/a> programme by the K\u00f6rber Foundation, and Leeds Museums and Galleries\u2019 \u2018Devolving Restitution\u2019<\/a> and \u2018Shifting Perspectives\u2019 projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also proud to bring together the following keynote speakers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Trevor Burnard<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Kesewa John<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Danielle Terrazas Williams<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prof. Burnard and Drs John and Terrazas Williams will reflect on the (psychological, institutional, disciplinary, sectoral, cultural, national, any) contexts in which researching and sharing histories of exploitative colonial practices and their legacies now happens, and the role of the early career historian in this picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We aim, also, to provide a supportive, informal forum\u2014at a time when academic labour in the Humanities is under threat, particularly in higher education institutions\u2014for early career historians to share experiences and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please see <\/strong>our dedicated conference webpages<\/strong><\/a> for further details, including the full programme and registration form. This is a free event and you can participate in person or remotely. Historians working in any discipline more than welcome!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
