Hybrid Workshop:

What can we learn by rethinking plantations beyond the Atlantic world?
From the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, plantations in the Caribbean, South America, and the U.S. South shaped the Atlantic economy and influenced extractive systems worldwide. While the fall of Caribbean slave-based regimes and their links to modern commodity frontiers are well known, this workshop revisits the origins, structures, and global implications of plantation systems. In this coming hybrid workshop, early-career scholars will join established researchers in moderated panel discussions designed to spark productive, in-depth dialogue.
