Overview
The International Initiative for the Study of Slave Societies responds to the University’s Academic Strategic Plan. It builds upon the internationally recognized Slave Societies Digital Archive (https://slavesocieties.org) and related cross-school projects that are focused on the history and modern legacies of slavery. Participants are organizing national and international research collaborations and conferences, participating in public history and community outreach events and developing training workshops and immersion possibilities for students. TIPs participants are also collaborating on scholarly publications related to their mutual interests in slavery and its after effects.Type: Vanderbilt Initiative Award (ViA)
