Dr Judith Spicksley

From 2010-17 she taught the economic history of Britain and Europe at the University of York before returning to the University of Hull to take up a position in the Wilberforce Institute. She is a fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a member of the Economic History Society. Judith's current focus of research is a reevaluation of the institution of slavery in the long run. |
