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.
Watch our latest video on the “Resources of Power” Exhibition to find out how objects talk about dependency and slavery. Our researchers at the 'Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies' are keen to show the impact that material culture had and still has.
We are very pleased to announce that BCDSS fellow Dr Chioma Daisy Onyige has been promoted from senior lecturer to the position of Professor of Sociology (Criminology) by her home institution, the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. In fact, the promotion has been effective retrospectively from October 2020.
We wish Daisy every success with her research at the BCDSS and beyond. Congratulations!
The Heinz Heinen Kolleg – Center for Advanced Study at the Bonn Center for Dependency and Slavery Studies (BCDSS) is calling for applications for ten fellowships for the academic year 2022/2023. The center brings together excellent international scholars whose research focuses on various forms of strong asymmetrical dependency and slavery in all historical periods before the 20th century, and all cultural contexts.
As consortium partner, the BCDSS draws attention to a new joint international Masters program in Slavery, Forced Migration & Reparative Justice, starting in September 2022.
The two-year program offers a unique opportunity to study the history of slavery and reparatory justice from a global and comparative perspective, building on the expertise of seven European universities.
