This special event explores the role of reparation in acknowledging and redressing the harms caused by colonialism, the slave trade and slavery, and in building a pathway towards future justice. The panel discussion will be followed with a buffet lunch. Questions to be discussed by our panel of experts include:
• What is the role of reparation in tackling the legacies of the slave trade, slavery, colonialism and contemporary imperialism?
• How, if at all, is it possible to repair the harms done and what form should this take?
