Research on slavery in the late Roman Empire and in the post-Roman kingdoms has been expanding and evolving in the recent decades. The theme will be approached from a wide perspective, including social, economic, political, legal, ideological and religious levels. We welcome papers that discuss slavery from the point of view of landowning, local differences, changes in rural and urban settings, alterations in ideas and attitudes, and modifications in status and everyday life. Papers that analyse scholarly approaches to late antique slavery are also welcome.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0cm; line-height: 18.399999618530273px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times, serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.800000190734863px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0cm; line-height: 18.399999618530273px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times, serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.800000190734863px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" class="">The keynote<b class=""><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.800000190734863px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" class="">speakers of the symposium are:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0cm; line-height: 18.399999618530273px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times, serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><b class=""><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.800000190734863px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></b></div><div style="margin: 0cm 16.6pt 0.0001pt 14.2pt; text-indent: 0cm; line-height: 18.399999618530273px; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times, serif; text-align: justify;" class=""><b class=""><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.800000190734863px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" class="">Chris De Wet</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 13.800000190734863px; font-family: Cambria, serif;" class="">:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">Emancipating the Spirit: Late Ancient Slavery in/and the Religious Thought of Eunomius and Basil of Caesarea</b>.
