CfP: Work and Wellbeing in History

8–9 June 2023

Oslo Metropolitan University

 

 

Work is central to human wellbeing, but job quality has received comparatively little attention in economic history and historical wellbeing studies.

Starting in the United Kingdom, the abolition of slavery quickly became one of the most pressing social issues of the 19th century. Contrary to the commonly held perception that the anti-slavery movements were a teleological success story, slavery underwent a number of phases of abolition and reintroduction, while the informal exploitative structures of ‘slavery’ never completely disappeared.
