How do I use this calendar?

You can click on an event to display further information about it.

The toolbar above the calendar has buttons to view different events. Use the left and right arrow icons to view events in the past and future. The button inbetween returns you to today's view. The button to the right of this shows a mini-calendar to let you quickly jump to any date.

The dropdown box on the right allows you to see a different view of the calendar, such as an agenda or a termly view.

If this calendar has tags, you can use the labelled checkboxes at the top of the page to select just the tags you wish to view, and then click "Show selected". The calendar will be redisplayed with just the events related to these tags, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

History Research seminar, Sarah Balakrishnan, Duke University, The Spiritual Economy of Southern Ghana: Slavery, Migration and Atlantic Commerce, c. 1500-1800
OC1.09, Oculus Building

This talk studies the spiritual economy of southern Ghana during the period of Atlantic commerce, roughly between 1500 and 1800 AD. Inasmuch as the Atlantic slave trade caused mass external migration out of Africa, it also caused significant internal migration, which transformed the social, political and economic life of West African territories. This talk will study the effect of internal migration on the evolution of the spiritual economy in precolonial Ghana. In particular, it examines the relationship between migration and enclosure. The talk argues that the invention of fences and borders marked the emergence of private property in precolonial Ghana. It suggests a Weberian emergence of private property, driven by religious changes, shaped by a period of expulsion and war.
