In my work, I explore the multi-faceted dimensions of slavery, slave trade, and cross-cultural contact in the Dutch Atlantic and Early America with special emphasis on early New York. My first book, Spaces of Enslavement: A History of Slavery and Resistance in Dutch New York, came out in the fall of 2021 with Cornell University Press. A paperback edition will be available in the spring of 2025. I am currently researching the 1663/1664 voyage of the Dutch slaver Gideon. At the University of New Orleans, I teach courses in Early American history, Atlantic history, histories of Slavery and Slave Trade, Silences and Biases in the Archives, and the Spatial Turn in the Humanities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99c0640700f70727b5d3c2/1624968968883-52QQFPICYSEX5Q6NECS4/100_6647+copy.JPG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99c0640700f70727b5d3c2/1624972598043-11YLGAU9IJNTQFYIVKVN/2017-05-02+17.46.50+copy.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99c0640700f70727b5d3c2/1624972889954-WMXO94BC4CMCG51DWLHI/Mapping+Slavery+12-5-16.jpg Home https://www.andreacmosterman.com/research daily 0.75 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99c0640700f70727b5d3c2/1623384560779-UQR96UPQEP47CYTKPLBZ/mosterman-revision-2-whole+house.jpg Research The manuscript won the 2020 New Netherland Institute Annual Hendricks Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99c0640700f70727b5d3c2/1624911136004-13CL7HRP83DTXQASNWL3/Smaller+Size+GezichtOpNieuwAmsterdam.jpg Research https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f99c0640700f70727b5d3c2/1624912859746-0C8JOWC3OBQMC16G2VC6/STeven%25252BMiles.jpg Research Steven Miles, Depiction of the Lott house garret space.
