In partnership with the Wilberforce Institute, the lecture will begin at 4.30pm, directly after the Museum closes, and all will take place in Oriel Chambers, 27 High Street, Hull, HU1 1N.
Professor of International Law at Monash University, Australia, Professor Jean Allain, who is also Adjunct Professor at the Universitas Padjadjaran, Bandung, Indonesia, and Extraordinary Professor at the University of Pretoria, South Africa, has been Leverhulme Visiting Professor at the University of Nottingham during 2023 and 2024.
His talk is one of the products of that fellowship: ‘A Struggle for the Soul of Anti-Trafficking at the League of Nations’. Prof Allain will examine two episodes in the 1920s which speak to the dissimulation which transpired within the League of Nations which allowed it to first capture the anti-trafficking framework; then change its very nature.
