2025 Annual A. B. Emden Lecture: Slavery and Capitalism across the C18 Atlantic World - LECTURE

 

Join us to hear Professor Catherine Hall, Emerita Professor of History and Chair of the Centre of the Study of the Legacies of British Slavery, UCL, speak on “Slavery and Capitalism across the C18 Atlantic World”.

Professor Hall has written extensively on the history of Britain, gender and empire including Family Fortunes (1987), co-authored with Leonore Davidoff, Civilising Subjects (2002), Macaulay and Son (2012) and, with others, Legacies of British Slave-ownership (2014). From 2009 to 2016 she was principal investigator on the LBS project (www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs); her latest book is Lucky Valley: Edward Long and the History of Racial Capitalism (2024).

This is St Edmund Hall’s annual history lecture in memory of A. B. Emden, a distinguished medievalist and historian of universities who was Principal of the Hall from 1929 to 1951. Established in 1992, the Emden Lecture attracts eminent historians from around the UK and beyond to speak on topics of particular contemporary relevance to a non-specialist audience.
