For centuries, slavery constituted a fundamental component of Ottoman society, shaping households, labor regimes, political structures, and social hierarchies across the empire. Yet recent scholarship has increasingly emphasized that slavery in the Ottoman world cannot be understood as a singular institution. Rather, enslaved and dependent individuals experienced diverse forms of unfreedom that varied according to gender, legal status, occupation, religion, geographic setting, and access to social networks. These differences challenge binary distinctions between freedom and slavery and call for a more nuanced understanding of dependency and agency in Ottoman history. The conference Ottoman Slaveries and Typologies of Unfreedom brings together scholars from different disciplines to examine the plurality of Ottoman slaveries and related forms of dependency.
