This week, I published the last installment of my series on Hamburg’s involvement in slavery. Given the scope (1600-1900 and all inhabited continents), I had to select a total of 10 examples that are in my opinion emblematic to give a concise, yet accessible overview.

Over the past few weeks, I have published seven short texts on Hamburg's role in Atlantic slavery from the 16th to the 19th century. To wrap up my series, I will now continue with three more posts which cover the topic beyond formal slavery and the Atlantic World.

Recently, I have started publishing a series of online texts on Hamburg's involvement in slavery. The format is aimed at a wider audience, as I am under the impression that public debates on the subject here in Hamburg would benefit from easily available academic input.

Cooking up the 3-year planning for our newly funded @DFG network (Post-)Colonial Business History at our first meeting in Bamberg last week. With 19 members from 7 countries, and @nkleinoeder.bsky.social and @aengel.bsky.social coordinating, we will foster interdisciplinary exchange and research.

My review of Jasper Henning Hagedorn's phd thesis 'Bremen und die atlantische Sklaverei. Waren, Wissen und Personen, 1780–1860' (roughly: 'Bremen and Atlantic Slavery. Goods, knowledge, people') is online. Since both book and review are in German, i will give a short summary in English here.

2024 jährt sich die Gründung des deutschen Kolonialreichs und auch die Berliner Afrikakonferenz zum 140. Mal! Zugleich sind es 10. Jahre, dass die Forschungsstelle "Hamburgs (post-)koloniales Erbe" ´gegründet wurde. Grund genug, Zwischenbilanz zu ziehen. cfp 👇 t1p.de/4d2ir
