A Wilberforce Institute Public Lecture by Dr Isabel Pilar Arce Zelada and Dr Jen Nghishitende
About this Event

An update on postgraduate research at the Wilberforce

We are delighted to host by Dr Isabel Pilar Arce Zelada and Dr Jen Nghishitende as part of the Wilberforce Institute's Public Lecture programme, in association with Hull Museums.

In this session two of our former postgraduate students will talk about their recently completed research. Dr Zelada will talk about 'Art, Asylum and Alienhood: Narrative Inequality in the UK Asylum Process', and Dr Nghishitende about ‘“Freedom is a constant struggle”: Women’s journeys after modern slavery in the United Kingdom'.

This year we are teaming up with Hull Museums to offer attendees at our public lectures the opportunity to visit Wilberforce House Museum next door before they join us for the lecture. As a result all our lectures will begin at 4.30pm, directly after the Museum closes, and all will take place at our home in Oriel Chambers, 27 High Street, Hull, HU1 1NE. We are very grateful for the financial support Hull Museums is providing to the Wilberforce Institute’s public lecture programme, and hope that some of you will take the opportunity to have a look round their exhibitions and displays in advance of the lectures. Please join us for refreshments from 4.15pm onwards, and if you can, stay afterwards for a glass of wine and a chance to talk with our speaker.

There are a limited number of tickets available to attend in person. If you can’t make it in person, you can still enjoy the lectures by streaming online – please select the ticket according to your preference when you make your booking.
