Abstract:

The project "Ecologies of Freedom: Materialities of Slavery and Post-emancipation in the Atlantic World" (ECOFREEDOM) is an archaeological, interdisciplinary project that investigates the formation of the Atlantic world since the 16th century, with a focus on the social and environmental impacts of slavery and colonialism in Cacheu, northern Guinea-Bissau and southern Alentejo, Portugal. In this lunchtime seminar I will explore the questions that shape the project in the context of ongoing discussions about archaeology as a decolonial practice.
