The Slave Wrecks Project: A Globally Collaborative Initiative
02/26/2025 | 5:00PM | LA 4310
The Slave Wrecks Project (SWP) is an international network that investigates the history of the African slave trade across the globe and engages with the enduring legacies of that past in the present. SWP uses shipwrecks, their voyages, and related maritime landscapes as a distinctive point of entry for pursuing interdisciplinary research and developing dynamic public education and community engagement programs. SWP engages in local, national, and international collaborations designed to simultaneously build partner capacity, protect heritage, foster public dialogue, advance research, and promote greater diversity in scholarship. This talk will explore our global work, including our groundbreaking international training program Slave Wrecks Project Academy, and the ways in which we are helping to create a new generation of maritime archaeologists engaged with the histories and legacies of slavery and the trade in enslaved Africans.
