Dr Christabelle Peters (Hispanic Studies / IAS) is now a member of the research team for the UNESCO project ‘A Rota do Escravo’ based in the Centro de Estudos sobre África, Ásia e América Latina at the Universidade Técnica in Lisbon. The project, led by Prof. Isabel Castro Henriques, will create the first slavery museum in Portugal at the site of the recently discovered African ‘burial ground’ in Lagos, Algarve, which dates from the 1400s. The burial site is the earliest of its kind in the world, and the only one in Europe. Visit the project website (in Portuguese).
