An MMoR sponsored workshop taking place at King’s College London on Friday 30th June.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together historians working on slavery/race across the early modern global Mediterranean (extending into the Atlantic) to explore meaningful ways of working towards a more inter-connected and shared research agenda that sets health studies at its centre.
The concept of ‘health’ is to be understood in broad terms, including practices and institutions related to healthcare, preservation and prevention of health, healing, medical inspections as well as the production and cross-cultural exchange of medical knowledge.
To provide an ample and diverse perspective as well as generate insightful discussions on sources and approaches, the workshop’s participants are coming together from across Europe, the UK and North America, covering research loci that span from the Canary Islands, Spanish coastal regions and Balearic Islands to Malta, Italian port cities, and the East Adriatic region, including interwoven Ottoman experiences.
Taking place in S8.08 History Seminar Room, Strand Campus. This is a closed workshop but we welcome interested participants. If you would like to attend, please email mmor@kcl.ac.uk.
