Annual Graduate
Student Symposium on Transatlantic History
Upcoming Symposium Past Symposia
Our Ninth Annual Graduate Student Symposium on
Transatlantic History, “Slavery in the Transatlantic World,” will be held on
October 23, 2008. Since 2000, this
symposium has become an excellent venue for the discussion of the
interrelations between and among peoples of the Atlantic World. Past presenters and keynote speakers have
come from institutions all around the world.
Slavery is one of the most important aspects of
transatlantic history. It had profound
economic, political, and social effects on all nations and civilizations of the
Atlantic Basin. The voluntary and forced
encounters between Africans, Amerindians, and Europeans involved and engendered
an unprecedented exchange of cultures, subject to constant interplay and
reinterpretation.
This year’s keynote address will be delivered by Dr.
Trevor Burnard of the University of Warwick (United
Kingdom), author of the acclaimed work Mastery,
Tyranny, & Desire: Thomas Thistlewood and His
Slaves in the Anglo-Jamaican World.
More information will be posted about this symposium
in the future. For further information,
please feel free to contact either Gene Rhea Tucker at grtucker@uta.edu or Dr. Stanley Palmer at spalmer@uta.edu. The symposium is jointly sponsored by Phi
Alpha Theta and the Barksdale Lecture Series.
