Tue 11 Jun 2013	13:15		Britain and the legacies of slavery at Museum of London Docklands University College London's Lunch Hour Lectures are on tour at The Museum of London. During June 2013, UCL's free, public, Lunch Hour Lectures will be uprooted from their usual residence at UCL and go on tour to The Museum of London Docklands. The second lecture is 'Britain and the legacies of slavery' delivered by Prof Catherine Hall (UCL History.) Once abolition was secured, Britons were keen to overlook slavery and emphasise the memory of emancipation. But Britain and Britons benefitted in multiple ways from slavery. By focusing on the role of the many slave-owners who lived here, should British history be reconsidered to take slavery into full account? This talk will be introduced by Tom Wareham (Curator of Maritime History, Museum of London Docklands.) More about "Britain and the legacies of slavery"	Talks	Adults

Tue 18 Jun 2013	13:15		Plague Bones: how London's Black Death became a tropical disease at Museum of London University College London's Lunch Hour Lectures are on tour at The Museum of London. During June 2013, UCL's free, public, Lunch Hour Lectures will be uprooted from their usual residence at UCL and go on tour to The Museum of London. The third lecture in this series is 'Plague Bones: how London's Black Death became a tropical disease', by Dr Carole Reeves (UCL Centre for the 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, now one of the great scourges of the developing world. This lecture will be introduced by Jelena Bekvalec (Curator of Human Osteology, Museum of London). More about "Plague Bones: how London's Black Death became a tropical disease"	Talks	Adults
