Sarah Barber is Senior Lecturer in History at Lancaster University and has developed ideas of normative values and their challenges in writing the histories of marginalized peoples in Europe and the Americas. In recent years this has taken the form of reconstructing the primary source base of a multi-ethnic history of the greater Caribbean in the first century of European exploration and settlement. Her current research further reunites the British and American histories of the early modern period by deconstructing the Anglophone fixation with plantation.
Nicola Cowmeadow completed her PhD entitled Scottish Noblewomen, the Family and Scottish Politics 16881707 at the University of Dundee in 2011. A former Carnegie scholar, she has published various articles and continues to research Scottish women and noble family strategy. She is the Local History Officer for Perth and Kinross and is currently working on her first book, based on the life of Katharine, first Duchess of Atholl.
Jean-Franois Dunyach is Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of Paris, Sorbonne. His research interests focus on the intellectual history of the Enlightenment in a comparative perspective. He is currently working on a biography of William Playfair from the perspective of the contribution of the Lower Enlightenment to the intellectual origins of political economy in the Northern Atlantic between the 1780s and the 1820s.
Douglas J. Hamilton is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Hull, where he is also affiliated to the Wilberforce Institute for the study of Slavery and Emancipation. He has published widely on aspects of Scottish empire and on slavery including the books Scotland, the Caribbean and the Atlantic World, 17501829 (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2005) and Slavery, Memory and Identity (with K. Hodgson and J. Quirk) (London: Pickering & Chatto, 2012). He is currently working on a project on Grenada, 17631838.
George K. McGilvary is an Honorary Post-Doctoral Fellow of the Scottish Centre of Diaspora Studies, Edinburgh University who has concentrated on the financial and business activities of the Scottish elite in the East India Company. These studies stretch from the 1660s to 1880s, tracing several important commercial exploits: first, at home, then southward (to London) and onwards into South-East Asia. His numerous publications include: Guardian of the East India Company: The Life of Laurence Sulivan (London: I. B. Tauris, 2006) and East India Patronage and the British State: The Scottish Elite and Politics in the Eighteenth Century (London: I. B. Tauris, 2008).
Liam McIlvanney is the inaugural Stuart Professor of Scottish Studies at the University of Otago. He won the Saltire First Book Award for Burns the Radical: Poetry and Politics in Late Eighteenth-Century Scotland (East Linton: Tuckwell, 2002). He is co-editor of The Good of the Novel (London: Faber, 2011) and The Cambridge Companion to Scottish Literature (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2012), and author of the novels All the Colours of the Town (London: Faber, 2009) and Where the Dead Men Go (London: Faber, 2013).
