  • In this inaugural installment, Denis is joined by guest Dr. Marcus Rediker as they discuss Quaker involvement in early movements for the abolition of slavery through the lens of Benjamin Lay's revolutionary and controversial practices.

    Dr. Rediker taught at Georgetown University from 1982 to 1994, lived in Moscow for a year (1984-5), and is currently a Distinguished Professor of Atlantic History at the University of Pittsburgh. He is also Senior Research Fellow at the Collège d'études mondiales / Fondation Maison des sciences de l'homme in Paris. Dr. Rediker has written, co-written, or edited ten books, including The Fearless Benjamin Lay: The Quaker Dwarf Who Became the First Revolutionary Abolitionist (Beacon Press, 2017). He has, over the years, been active in a variety of social justice and peace movements, most recently in the worldwide campaign to abolish the death penalty.
