About northern slavery

Slavery was established in 2022, and it is a good academic and cultural destination where scientists, thinkers, artists and cultural producers are building society and producing the results of research and culture that transform our understanding of our neglected history of delay in Canada and the Northern United States. Northern slavery seeks to advance social justice by recovering and interrogating the complex history of slavery across the Atlantic and European colonialism of the Americas, thus restoring cultures, experiences, life and resisting slactical peoples in Canada and the United States. At the heart of slavery, there is a fellowship program that welcomes national and international students, artists and scientists, and provides them with space, financing, time and society to produce the transfer results.
