[Sehefac] 5/21 11am Izabel Barros, Motherhood and Slavery: A Global Microhistory of a Swiss-Owned Plantation in Bahia (1820–1888)

[Dana Simmons]

Dear SEHE friends,
Please join us in welcoming SEHE visiting scholar Izabel Barros this *Wednesday
5/21, 11am-12:20pm in INTN 3023*! She will present a research talk on
"Motherhood and Slavery: A Global Microhistory of a Swiss-Owned Plantation
in Bahia (1820–1888)."

Izabel Barros is a PhD student at the University of Lausanne and a visiting
scholar at SEHE-UCR. Decolonial and feminist activist in Brazil and
Switzerland, her dissertation explores the reproductive strategies
implemented by Swiss plantation owners in Bahia-Brazil and how enslaved
women navigated and resisted these. By focusing on women's experiences, her
work challenges male-centred Swiss historiography and highlights the
transatlantic entanglements of racial capitalism, slavery and patriarchy.
In this seminar, she presents findings from her ongoing research on
natality incentives, resistance and their impact within transimperial
networks linking Brazil and Switzerland.

Refreshments will be served.
