This conference will feature prominent scholars who work on abolition, anti-slavery politics, capitalism, and slavery, and will attempt to revisit the classic questions about the relationship between the marketplace and abolition in light of the new historiographical trends.

This conference is organized by Professor Matthew Karp, Professor Peter Wrizbicki and the Center for Collaboration History at Princeton University.
