Girton Reflects: Legacies of Enslavement
A series of reflections from the Girton College Legacies of Enslavement Committee.
While a significant route to understanding College's past has been inquiry into some of the sources of wealth through which the institution was able to grow, there is much more to be told. Importantly, Girton's internal history is there to be read alongside the external histories of which it was also a part.
William Dusinberre Prize
The William Dusinberre Prize is an annual competition, made possible by a generous gift from Girton Life Fellow, Juliet Dusinberre, in memory of her husband, a renowned historian of American slavery.
Girton College has established the prize to support and recognise student research and engagement with the legacies and practices of enslavement. This prize responds to the invisibilities of enslavement, both historical and contemporary, and its legacies as manifested across many academic disciplines and beyond.
