La Hausse de Lalouvière’s work explores the French restoration of slavery in its Atlantic colonies in the wake of the first abolition of 1793–94. He frames the restoration of slavery as a politically, legally, and ideologically generative act. Participants in this colloquium will read a chapter from his work in progress.
Joseph La Hausse de Lalouvière is a Lecturer in Modern History at the University of Edinburgh. He received his PhD in History in 2020 from Harvard University. His research is currently supported by a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship.
