GCRG unites colleagues at the Department of Historical and Classical Studies who focus on local manifestations of the global process of coloniality and decoloniality. Our present focus is on the Transatlantic slave trade, colonial empire, and the colonisation of indigenous peoples. Specifically, our group aims to create new knowledge and understanding of the histories and materiality of Danish-Norwegian coloniality internally and globally. Our multidisciplinary group includes perspectives and methods from archaeology, heritage studies, and history. This disciplinary mix allows the group to empirically explore and analyse colonial relations from different spatial and temporal, as well as post- and decolonial perspectives, for example colonising relationships between Norse and Sami communities in Scandinavia during the Iron Age, Middle Ages, and the Early Modern Period; and between the many groups involved in the Transatlantic slave trade in the early modern to the modern period.
