DESCRIPTION: Slavery (the treatment of humans as chattel) and enslavem
 ent through conquest, birth, gender, race, ethnicity, kinship, and ex
 ploitation of indebtedness have been an intrinsic part of human socie
 ties.&nbsp;Slavery and a variety of other forms of exploitation exist
 ed in ancient societies across the world, and in many other states an
 d territories.&nbsp;The Transatlantic Slave Trade furnished at least 
 10 million Africans for slavery throughout the Americas.&nbsp; Contro
 versial and contested estimates indicate that up to 40 million people
  worldwide are enslaved today.&nbsp; This modern re-emergence of slav
 ery into public view, following legal abolition of the Transatlantic 
 Slave Trade over two hundred years ago, is said to be linked to the d
 eepening interconnectedness of countries in the global economy, overp
 opulation, and the economic and other vulnerabilities of individual v
 ictims and communities. But should we think of these people as enslav
 ed? And, if so, is slavery an inevitable part of the human condition?
  Like â€˜consumersâ€™ of past eras, such as early industrialization, 
 are we dependent on the exploitation of others? What does the persist
 ence and mutations of different forms of exploitation mean in the con
 text of abolition and recognition of universal individual and collect
 ive human rights?&nbsp;The varieties of contemporary forms of exploit
 ation appear to be endless.&nbsp; <em>The format of the Slavery Past,
  Present and Future Conference will be plenary. We intend to hold the
  meetings in person and expect those who register to attend all the s
 essions to facilitate a genuine cross-fertilization of ideas across i
 dentities, disciplines, and subject areas.</em>   This interdis
 ciplinary conference from 26 to 28 June 2025 will facilitate a multid
 isciplinary exploration of slavery and enslavement in all its dimensi
 ons. On 26 June you can join aÂ boat tour on Amsterdam canals focusin
