The Women’s Committee panel, ‘Women as Slaveholders’, will take place during the conference on Tuesday 6 April, 15:30-17:30.
This panel will compare the role of women in the economy of the slave trade and slavery from the early modern British and French Caribbean to the late Ottoman Empire.
You can register for the conference here.
The Open Meeting will take place on Tuesday 6 April, 18:00-19:00.
This year’s Women’s Committee Open Meeting at the conference will pick up on last year’s delayed topic on women’s engagement in the Society. We’d like to think about practical ways in which we can encourage women to join the society, take part in conference and our other events, put themselves forward for fellowships, submit articles to the Review, etc etc. We are looking for people to share their experiences and suggest practical solutions and advice.
Helen Paul will give a short presentation at the start followed by an open discussion. We hope to take some suggestions to Council.
