Bio:
Simon Newman began his career writing about popular political culture and social history in the era of the American Revolution. For the past fifteen years, he has focused on the history of slavery in the British Atlantic World, publishing a book on the origins of the plantation labor system. He led a Leverhulme Trust funded project creating a database of runaway slave advertisements published in eighteenth-century Britain, and this research has resulted in collaborations with playwrights, musical composers, film-makers and a graphic novelist who are all interested in the presence of enslaved people in Georgian Britain.
Professor Newman is interested in digital humanities and the potential it has for new kinds of resources and publications in slavery history. In 2018 he published the William and Mary Quarterly‘s first born-digital article, and he is aiming to publish the research he completed at the Institute as an Open Access digital book.
Professor Newman has also helped initiate a report into the degree to which the University of Glasgow benefited financially from Atlantic World racial slavery. Glasgow was the first British university to undertake such a study and to develop a program of reparative justice as a result.

Welcome to the Dis a fi mi History Podcast! In this episode, host Wendy Aris is joined by John M. Chenoweth, an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan, Dearborn. Professor Chenoweth specializes in the archaeology of religion and the complex negotiations between religion, race, and social identities.
This episode delves into the relatively untold narrative of the Quakers in the British Virgin Islands. We explore how Quakerism established itself in the region, the intricate dynamics between Quaker beliefs and the institution of slavery, and the broader social and economic implications of these interactions.
Professor Chenoweth provides a detailed account of the historical context, highlighting key figures like John Pickering and the Nottingham family, and examines how Quaker principles of equality and simplicity were challenged in a slave-owning society. He also discusses the significant yet complex role that Quakers played in the abolition movement in the Caribbean.
Join us for an enlightening discussion that uncovers the layers of Quaker history in the British Virgin Islands and offers valuable lessons for contemporary society. Don't forget to like, follow, subscribe, and review the episode wherever you listen to your podcasts.
Bio:
John M. Chenoweth is an anthropologist and historical archaeologist studying the archaeology of religion and the negotiations between religion, race, class, and other social identities. His work combines archaeological and documentary evidence, practice theory, and geographic and materials science data to understand daily life. Though working in many areas and different groups, one focus has been the Caribbean, especially the British Virgin Islands, and another the Religious Society of Friends (“Quakers”). In particular, he has studied Caribbean Quakers who, despite ideals of equality and pacifism, held enslaved Africans. This culminated in the publication of his first book, Simplicity, Equality, and Slavery, in 2017, as well as a series of articles. He has also worked on Free African sites in the BVI, both before and after emancipation.
