Yacine Daddi Addoun is currently the scientific editor at the Center for Studies and Research on Ibadism (Ibadica). Before this, he taught at Emory University, the University of Kansas and the University of Notre Dame. He obtained his PhD from York University in Toronto, Canada, with a study on the abolition of slavery in Algeria. 

Yacine’s work examines the history of slavery, abolition, in the context of colonialism in Algeria. In his research and teaching, he interrogates issues of slavery, race, and racism, and their impact on Muslim, Middle Eastern, and African societies. He’s also committed to seeing the Sahara as a space of connection and interaction, rather than a barrier between North and Sub-Saharan Africa, which can also be seen in his publications, that cover areas north and south of the Sahara. 

In recent years, he’s been documenting the individual experiences of trans-Saharan migrants, in their journey to Europe, and stressing the parallels between historical and contemporary forced migrations through the same routes, thus providing a much-needed historical perspective on current issues.

The workshop is open to all members of the BCDSS, including Ph.D. candidates and M.A. students.


This workshop series is organised by the Research Group "The Concept of Slavery in African History".
