Britain and the legacies of slavery Professor Catherine Hall, UCL History

After abolition, Britons were keen to overlook slavery and emphasise the memory of emancipation.

But Britain and Britons benefited in multiple ways from slavery.

By focusing on the role of the many slave-owners who lived here, should our history be reconsidered to take slavery into full account?

Plague bones: how London’s Black Death became a tropical disease Dr Carole Reeves, UCL History of Medicine

At its height, the Black Death claimed the lives of 7,000 Londoners every week. The Museum of London excavated a plague cemetery in the 1980s, but it was not until 2011 that technology revealed the true identity of the disease. UCL researchers are examining similar burial grounds to prove that another ‘English’ pestilence – marsh fever – was actually malaria.
