This symposium consists of a small group of scholars who will come together at Princeton University for one and a half days of intensive, collegial inquiry into the historical phenomenon of the institution of slavery in Islamic societies and in societies in which Islam played a significant role. The symposium will focus, in particular, on the ways in which gender and categories of "race/ethnicity" have informed the history and historiography of slavery within Islamic contexts.
