DESCRIPTION:This talk centres on The University of Manchester staff’s res
 earch on slavery as both a historical and a contemporary form of abuse a
 nd exploitation.\n\nIt will consist of two presentations\, followed by a
  question-and-answer period. Dr Natalie Zacek will talk about the Univer
 sity’s connections with transatlantic slavery\, emphasising the links be
 tween its early founders and funders and a textile industry based on sla
 ve-grown cotton from the American South\, and will discuss the Universit
 y’s recent enquiries into this history and its plans for response to it.
 \n\nProf Rosemary Broad will talk about her ongoing research into human 
 trafficking and modern slavery\, including her work with Greater Manches
 ter Police and the Greater Manchester Combined Authority\, and will expl
 ore the ways in which this form of criminal activity represents a modern
  variant of enslavement. Dr Zacek and Prof Broad will respond briefly to
  one another’s talks\, and then open up the event to perspectives from t
 he audience.
