Global Histories of Slavery - A Workshop with Indrani Chatterjee The Edinburgh Centre for Global History invite proposals for a workshop with Professor Indrani Chatterjee on global histories of slavery. The workshop will provide a supportive space for PhD students, and those who have recently submitted their PhDs, to present and receive feedback on chapters or detailed dissertation research proposals relating to any aspect of the theme of global histories of slavery. Up to 5 students will be selected to share a piece of writing of up to 8,000 words for intensive discussion and feedback from Professor Chatterjee and other workshop participants. As well as presenting their own work, participants will be expected to read and participate in discussion of other participants’ work. The workshop will also be open to participants who do not submit papers but commit to reading all the submitted work in advance. Those selected to participate will be notified in early April 2022. Work for circulation will be due by Friday 29 April 2022. The workshop will be hybrid; participants will be encouraged to come to Edinburgh to participate, but Professor Chatterjee will join us from Texas and it will be possible to participate online. Indrani Chatterjee is Professor of History at the University of Texas, Austin. She is among the leading historians of South Asia. Her works on slavery include Gender, Slavery, and Law in Colonial India, Slavery and South Asian History (edited with Richard Easton). Public Lecture At 4.00 on Wednesday 4 May, Professor Chatterjee will deliver the 2022 Lecture in the History of Slavery to the Edinburgh Centre for Global History, on 'Entangled Hierarchies: Of Varna-Jati, Casta and Slaves in historic South Asia'.
