Professor Simon Newman

  • Honorary Professorial Research Fellow (History)

Research interests

The social and political history of early America, with particular reference to the American Revolution; the early modern British Atlantic world; the Transatlantic Slave Trade and the development of plantation slavery; historical and modern understandings of American history and society.

Professor Newman talks about his book A New World of Labour: The Development of Plantation Slavery in the British Atlantic

At present I am working on the history of enslaved people who tried to escape to freedom. With the support of the Leverhulme Trust I am engaged in a major study of enslaved people who were brought to Scotland and England in the eighteenth century, and who then escaped. I am also working on enslaved people who escaped from their owners in Jamaica and Britain’s other Caribbean colonies.

I am engaged in extending this research to broader audiences, and with my Leverhulme Research Team we have appeared on a BBC Radio Four programme about Scottish runaways, and we are acting as historical consultants for both film and theatrical productions about runaway slaves in Scotland. We are also developing a graphic novel about runaways for use in Scottish schools, as well as a minecraft education software package, again for use in schools.

Awarded The British Association for American Studies Book Prize for A New World of Labor: The Development of Plantation Slavery in the British Atlantic (2013).
