Research and writing leading to a public-facing website that interprets a large set of data from the Registers of Slave Liberation in Colonial Senegal. (36 months)

The Senegal Liberations Project (SLP) is a public-facing digital humanities project that will make accessible and provide an interpretive framework for an underused but rich set of primary documents-the Registers of Slave Liberation in Colonial Senegal. In doing so, SLP promises to generate new perspectives on the pathways out of slavery and to contributes to more expansive, global histories of freedom and unfreedom in the modern age.
