Extract
This book has had a very long gestation. Its origins go back to 2005, when I moved to the Department of Classics at the University of Nottingham, where I also joined the Institute for the Study of Slavery. From its inception in 1998 by the late Thomas Wiedemann, ISOS has included colleagues from various disciplines and periods and has strongly fostered the comparative study of slavery, not only between ancient and US slavery, as is usually the case, but also with other slave systems across space and time. It was this stimulating intellectual community that made me to turn what was merely one of my interests into a major research preoccupation over the next fifteen years. Steve Hodkinson, then co-director of ISOS, played an instrumental role in bringing me to Nottingham and helping me make the first tentative steps in my academic career. Steve has been a great source of academic, intellectual and moral support, and our ongoing collaboration on the study of slavery has been immensely fruitful in shaping the framework presented in this volume. While at Nottingham, in 2012, I received the Philip Leverhulme Prize for my contribution to the field of Classics; this prize provided me with two years of research leave, during which I was able to do the groundwork for this volume. I am obviously immensely grateful to the Leverhulme Trust for the opportunity, as well as to my former colleagues at the Department of Classics for creating a great work environment during my decade at Nottingham. I would also like to thank my current colleagues at the Department of History and Archaeology in the University of Crete, where I moved in 2015, for the research leave that facilitated this project, as well as the help and support they have provided over the years.
