Call for papers Conference ‘Becoming Local? Forgotten Lineages of Displaced Communities across the Indian Ocean World, 1650-1850’ – deadline 30 March 2025
On December 10-11, the Forgotten Lineages research project, featuring Posthumus fellow Dries Lyna and PhD students Pouwel van Schooten and Sanayi Marcelline will organise the two-day conference ‘Becoming Local? Forgotten Lineages of Displaced Communities across the Indian Ocean World, 1650-1850’ in Leiden.
Confirmed keynote speakers are Jennifer L. Gaynor (University at Buffalo SUNY) and Sue Peabody (Washington State University), with Michael Laffan (Princeton University) as one of the discussants. The conference will advocate the urgency of uncovering the genealogy of racialised social categories, what purposes they served at given times, and how displaced descent permeated the making and shaping of racialised groups.
Abstracts should be sent by e-mail to the organisers before 31 March 2025.
