Legal and Political Theory Forum – The Bonds of Freedom: Liberated Africans and the End of the Slave Trade, Yale UP
October 15, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
The Legal & Political Theory Forum was set up in September 2007 in order to provide an umbrella for seminars and colloquia on topics of common interest to scholars and graduate students working in various disciplinary areas, but particularly in the fields of politics and law. The Forum holds a series of seminars during term-time, at which papers are presented by academics who are based either at LSE or more commonly elsewhere.
On Wednesday, 15th October 2025, Jake Subryan Richards (International History, LSE), with Niki Lacey (LSE, commentator), will present on his book, The Bonds of Freedom: Liberated Africans and the End of the Slave Trade, Yale UP.
Our policy is to make Forum events as inclusive as possible. All Forum events are open to staff and students from all departments and all academic institutions. The Forum is run by Thomas Poole (LSE Law School).
This seminar is open to the public and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis.
