The Cluster of Excellence "Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies"
The BCDSS is hosting the Cluster of Excellence "Beyond Slavery and Freedom: Asymmetrical Dependencies in Pre-Modern Societies".
With its research the Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies aims to overcome the binary opposition of "slavery versus freedom". We propose "asymmetrical dependency" as a new key concept including all forms of bondage across time and space.
All welcome!
The lecture will take place Sep. 15, 2022, from 10-12 CET, at the BCDSS conference room (0.018), Niebuhrstr. 5, 55113 Bonn (coffee included!). Alternatively you can join via Zoom (details below).
