These stories illuminate how slavery was not a peripheral issue, but a central feature of Cambridge’s social, cultural, and intellectual life.  Praised by leading scholars of colonial history—including Professor Corinne Fowler and Dr Natalie Zacek—as a “nuanced” and “important” contribution to British academic history. Free event – all welcome!  - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/cambridge/book-launch-the-university-of-cambridge-in-the-age-of-atlantic-slavery/100001852082250869 - **Event Categories**: business, art, theatre - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Cambridge - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Trinity Hall Cambridge - **lat**: 52.2057386 - **long**: 0.1151331 - **full address**: Trinity Hall Cambridge, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Book Launch: The University of Cambridge in the Age of Atlantic Slavery - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/42f25f2cdf5098ca46ae13e791d3df28e780c7bea730e04f7bd23d809d7d312e-rimg-w1200-h675-dc034760-gmir.jpg?v=1763382641 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Book Launch: The University of Cambridge in the Age of Atlantic Slavery being held? - **A:** Book Launch: The University of Cambridge in the Age of Atlantic Slavery takes place on Tue, 18 Nov, 2025 at 05:15 pm to Tue, 18 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm at Trinity Hall Cambridge, Trinity Lane, Cambridge, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Book Launch: The University of Cambridge in the Age of Atlantic Slavery? - **A:** Book Launch: The University of Cambridge in the Age of Atlantic Slavery is organized by University of Cambridge – Legacies of Enslavement. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
