Slavery
Slavery: it is a concept we have all encountered in some way or another. Either in a history lesson or as one of our co-workers jokes about having too much work in the office.
But the relevance of slavery persists even in today's increasingly equal and connected world. Later in today’s show we will talk about how the SA constitution guarantees the right against slavery, servitude, and forced labour, but we want to break down and understand what the word slavery actually means before that.
We’re joined today by Mr Liam Goodacre, an educator and scholar who has been developing an interdisciplinary curriculum that focuses on slavery from various perspectives including the historical, the philosophical, and the linguistic.
This interview is special to me because I studied under Mr Goodacre in India for a year, and I look back fondly towards our readings and critical discussions.
