MSc/MA Reparatory Justice in Glasgow United Kingdom | University of Glasgow

This dual Master's degree program provides an exceptional chance to collaborate with top experts in Reparatory Justice from The University of the West Indies (UWI) and the University of Glasgow (UofG). Overseen by the Glasgow-Caribbean Centre for Development Research (GCCDR), this initiative represents a partnership between Glasgow's Beniba Centre for Slavery Studies and UWI's Centre for Reparations Research. While concentrating primarily on Caribbean contexts and slavery reparations movements, the curriculum also examines comparative case studies of reparative justice efforts worldwide. Participants will develop both practical and theoretical research competencies through archival work, interviews, and legal analysis, while gaining hands-on experience with organizations engaged in reparative initiatives to complete a culminating research project.
UWI stands at the forefront of global scholarship, advocacy, and academic research supporting slavery reparations claims. Students will have access to specialized archives and library resources in Barbados and Jamaica. The University of Glasgow provides extensive primary source materials and cultural artifacts, complemented by interdisciplinary expertise in slavery studies, genocide research, and human rights violations.
The methodological training and research skills acquired through this program equip graduates for diverse career paths in NGOs, public and private sectors, including heritage policy development, activism, media, and education. This program also serves as strong preparation for doctoral research in related disciplines.
