Bibliographic record
Abstract
15-16 October, 2010Organizer: Professor Annie Bunting (abunting@yorku.ca)Location: 305 York Lanes, York University\nBringing together historians of slavery and women’s human rights scholars, this unique workshop will explore the phenomenon of forced marriage / enslavement in comparative and historical perspective. Speakers will explore the merits of prosecuting those responsible for forced marriage under the heading of sexual slavery, forced marriage, or enslavement. They will also explore the historical antecedents of servile marriage and enslavement of women.\nPresenters will include Rosaline M’Carthy who is the Chairperson of the Women’s Forum in Sierra Leone – a national umbrella organization of women’s groups. She has been working with the Coalition of Women’s Human Rights in Conflict Situations for the past three years and will speak about the experiences of girls and women victims in the Sierra Leone war. Other presenters will discuss comparable practices in Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC. Most interesting will be the conversations generated not only across case studies but also across time; papers and discussions will compare current problems with historical practices of slavery.\nSpeakers include:\nKevin Bales, President, Free the SlavesGaëlle Breton-LeGoff, Faculty, l’Université du Québec à MontréalAnnie Bunting, Associate Professor in Law and Society, York UniversityKhristopher Carlson, Feinstein International Center, Tufts UniversityPaul Lovejoy, Director, Harriet Tubman Institute; Canada Research Chair in African Diaspora History, York UniversityRosaline M’Carthy, President, Women’s Forum, Sierra LeoneBinaifer Nowrojee, Open Society Initiative for Eastern Africa (OSIEA), Harvard Law SchoolObiora Chinedu Okafor, Associate Professor, Osgoode Hall Law SchoolJoel Quirk, wilberforce Institute on the Study of Slavery and Emancipation, University of HullBenedetta Rossi, RCUK Fellow in International Slavery, University of LiverpoolKarlee Sapoznik, Ph.D. Candidate in History, Harriet Tubman Institute, York UniversityJody Sarich, DePaul University; Free the Slaves\nThe workshop is supported by the Nathanson Centre, as well as York’s Office of the Provost, the Vice-President research and Innovation, the Dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies, and The Harriet Tubman Institute for Research on the Global Migrations of African Peoples.\nIf you are interested in attending RSVP to Kathy Mirzaei, kmirzaei@yorku.ca.\nFurther information about this program can be found at www.yorku.ca/tubman

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
