Lancaster University is the intellectual home of the Social History Society and remains our physical base. Members will recall that we had planned to use Lancaster for our 2020 conference, which was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19. After two years of successful online events, we are delighted to be returning home for our first in person event since the start of the pandemic.

Autobiographical narratives—whether published as autobiographies per se, memoirs, testimonies, diaries, or texts posted online on blogs, social media, or personal websites—are frequently used by activists and social movement actors, but also elected officials and political leaders as tools for constructing or reconstructing a “strategic identity” (Collovald 1988).

The global history of slavery and dependency has flourished in recent years, as scholars have deployed new theories and methodologies to explore the varieties of unfreedom across a range of regions and societies. Studies of the premodern period have been part of this expansion, revealing nuanced analyses of how unfreedom intersected with gender roles, labour patterns, economic networks and religious values before the growth of the early modern trans-Atlantic slave trade.
