Call for Global Slavery History Fellowships (GSHF) in Amsterdam

20 June 2024 13:13

A coalition of Amsterdam based Archives, Museums and Historical institutes* with the generous support of the Insinger Foundation has taken the initiative for a five-year programme that offers three two-month long fellowships per year for curators, archivists and historians in the field of slavery history, starting in the Fall of 2024.

The fellowships are open to professionals working on the history of slavery in the Atlantic, the Indian Ocean and the Indonesian archipelago, linked to the Dutch involvement in  slave trade and slave labour.

Door demografisch onderzoek van het IISG is vastgesteld dat er in de vijf Nederlandse opvangtehuizen voor meisjes van de Rooms-Katholieke congregatie De zusters van de Goede Herder 2 tot 4 keer meer jonge meisjes en vrouwen overleden dan normaal. Dit concludeert een samenwerkingsverband van de HSNDB van het IISG en de Radboud Group for Historical Demography and Family History onder leiding van Rick Mourits in de vierdelige documentaire ‘Meisjes van de Goede Herder’ die de VPRO in juni uitzendt. Het onderzoek is hieronder te raadplegen.

ERC grant for SevenFrontiers project: The Global South in the Age of Early Industrial Capitalism

11 April 2024 12:00

Our lives would be unthinkable without the production of millions of tons of cotton, sugar, palm oil or soy. All these commodities are obtained at the lowest possible price with often destructive consequences for people and nature. The scale of the resulting environmental crises may be something of recent making, its mechanisms can be traced many centuries ago and are crucially part of the history of global capitalism.
