Department of History Professor Markus Vink will present the paper “Towards a Dutch Indian Ocean Slave Trade Database (IOSTD): Pitfalls and Potentialities” at the Indian Ocean and Maritime Asia Slave Trade Database Workshop to be held on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 27 and 28, at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Scholars from around the world will attend the workshop that aims to provide the first steps toward the creation of an integrated database on slave trade in the interconnected parts of maritime Asia and their hinterland, roughly stretching from Southern and Eastern Africa to South-, Southeast- and East-Asia.
