These web pages were originally designed to support Slavery in the Classical World (UCL course HIST7104). However, since all relevant material is now maintained either on the UCL History Department's web-pages (undergraduate half-hear courses) and more substantially via UCL Moodle, these pages have been retired.
The Institute for the Study of
Slavery (ISOS)
The Institute holds
themed conferences on slavery every other year (until 2004 annually), the proceedings of
which are later published. In
2001, it superseded the International
Centre for the History of Slavery (ICHOS), originally founded in 1998 by the
late Thomas Wiedemann (1950-2001). The
first conference was held in 2000, and eight have been held so far:
1] The Body of the Slave (2000) [publ. as T. Wiedemann & J. Gardner (eds.), Representing the Body of the Slave (London, 2002) = Slavery and Abolition 23.2 (2002)]
2] Manumission (2001) [publ. as M. Kleijwegt (ed.), The Faces of Freedom: The Manumission and Emancipation of Slaves in Old World and New World Slavery(The Atlantic World 7; Leiden, 2006)]
3] 5000 Years of
Slavery (2002)
4] Resistance and
Accomodation: Strategies of Survival in Slave Societies (2003).
5] Practices and
Discourses of Abolition (2004)
6] Slavery, Citizenship and the State (2006) [publ. as R. Geary and K. Vlassopoulos (eds.), Slavery, Citizenship and the State in Classical Antiquity and the Modern Americas = Special Issue of European Review of History 16/3 (2009) 295-436]
7] Slaves, Cults and
Religions (2008)
8] Slave, Forced and ‘Free’ Labour in Comparative
Historical Perspective (2010)
This project aims to create a database of all Greek manumission inscriptions. The current on-line material provides browsable versions of Boeotian inscriptions, with English translations, from the Hellenistic and Roman Periods.
