The BCDSS has been lent the library on ancient slavery by the former Mainz Academy of Sciences and Literature project Forschungen zur antiken Sklaverei (Research on Ancient Slavery). Specialist librarian Johannes Deißler kindly gave us a short interview about the history and the unique treasures of this collection.

Prof. Volker Kronenberg, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, spoke with us about what fascinates him about the BCDSS. (We’re pleased to say that this is quite a lot!) 

Our Researcher Malik Ade shares his experience from his insights last field trip to Nigeria and his research about Moremi, a popular figure in Yoruba folklore.

And of course, as in every issue, we give you an overview of all the latest news and our latest publications, as well as, past and upcoming events.

Enjoy the read and let us know what you think about our new issue of the DEPENDENT.
