The Atlantic World Workshop at NYU, established in 1997, is a forum for the exchange
of ideas among scholars of the humanities and social sciences with
interests in the history of the Atlantic world. The workshop sponsors
regular sessions during the academic year to discuss works in progress by
both junior and senior researchers. Papers are circulated in advance,
and all sessions are open to both members of the Atlantic world history
program of the NYU History Department and the wider scholarly
community.
Atlantic
history is a growing field that encompasses research on trends spanning Africa,
the Americas, and Europe; comparative analysis of Atlantic historical
processes; and histories of any of the subregions of the Atlantic
world. Workshop participants have addressed such themes as Atlantic
diasporas, slavery, cross-regional political and religious movements,
literature and language, gender, and Atlantic trade, with an emphasis on
the period between 1500 and 1900. The workshop is open to discussion
of all relevant topics and theoretical perspectives within the field and
especially encourages debate about new approaches and ideas.
