Reparatory Justice MSc

University of Glasgow

This double degree Masters programme offers a unique opportunity to work with leading scholars in Reparatory Justice at The University of the West Indies (UWI) and the University of Glasgow (UofG). Directed by the Glasgow-Caribbean Centre for Development Research (GCCDR), the programme is a collaboration between the Beniba Centre for Slavery Studies in Glasgow and the Centre for Reparations Research at The UWI. With a specific focus on the Caribbean and the slavery reparations movement, the programme will also draw on case studies of campaigns for reparative justice in other global contexts. You will learn how to conduct practical and theoretical research using archival, interviews and legal research while also gaining experience in organisations doing reparative work to produce a final research project on reparative justice.The University of the West Indies is a world-leader in the formulation, activism and academic research underpinning claims for reparations for slavery. Students will be able to access archives and library collections in Barbados and Jamaica for research. The University of Glasgow offers access to primary source materials and material culture holdings and draws on a range of expertise across the study of slavery, genocide and human rights violations.The research skills and methods you’ll gain on this programme give you the transferable skills for positions in NGOs, the public and private sectors, including heritage policy and projects, activism, media and teaching. The programme is also an excellent foundation for PhD study in a similar field.
