Race and Slavery in the Atlantic World is a working group designed to give faculty and graduate students a forum to present work-in-progress related to Atlantic World slavery. As of Fall 2023, we are thrilled to announce that the working group is now a consortium with Emory University and the University of Pennsylvania.
The working group is open to those interested in slavery and related subjects in North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe and Africa before 1900. We aim to give participants an opportunity to present book or dissertation chapters, articles-in-progress, or prospectus drafts. Topics include but are not limited to the relationship between slavery and: the state, society, politics, empire, political economy, agriculture, gender, resistance and revolt, abolition, emancipation, and cultural and racial formations.
We meet Mondays from 12:00-1:15 PM, usually via Zoom. We occasionally have hybrid workshops, which take place in the Gordon Parks Room at 81 Wall Street. Workshop format is a pre-circulated paper with a moderated discussion. Please contact us to be added to the working group email list. Pre-circulated papers and the Zoom login are only distributed to the group email list. To be added, contact: ella.starkman-hynes@yale.edu.
