Unfree Memories: Slavery and Materiality in the Atlantic World

This one-day conference will reexamine the material remains of Atlantic slavery, with notable speakers from across North and South America, by focusing on new interpretations of archeological finds, transnational lines of communication, and the role of the digital humanities in producing knowledge. The conference will have three main themes: the challenge of interpreting difficult histories; creating transnational contexts for interpretation; and the memorializing the material remains of slavery. This event is free, open to the public, and will include lunch.
