IOWC Director: Gwyn Campbell

Gwyn Campbell holds a Canada Research Chair in Indian Ocean World History at McGill University. Born in Madagascar, he grew up in Wales where he worked as a BBC radio producer in English and Welsh. He holds degrees in economic history from the universities of Birmingham and Wales and has taught in India (Voluntary Service Overseas) as well as at universities in Madagascar, Britain, South Africa, Belgium and France. He served as an academic consultant for the South African Government in a series of inter-governmental meetings which led to the formation of an Indian Ocean regional association in 1997. A specialist in the economic history of the Indian Ocean region, he is a member of McGill’s Centre for Developing Area Studies (CDAS) and African Studies Program. He also established the Zanzibar portion of McGill’s Africa Field Studies Program in collaboration with IOWC associate Abdul Sherrif.

From 2005 to 2010, Gwyn Campbell was a member of the sub-Saharan Africa team of the National Geographic and IBM Genographic Project. Led by Himla Soodyall, this project researched early human origins and migrations using a combination of historical research and DNA analysis. Campbell's current research is focused on the foundations of the Indian Ocean world global economy, as well as slavery, migration and diasporas in the Indian Ocean world. He is particularly interested in the dynamics of minority cultures, imperialism, globalisation and third world development.

Among his other interests are painting, poetry and prose, and following the trials and tribulations of the Welsh rugby team.

David Griffiths and the Missionary "History of Madagascar." Leiden: Brill, 2012. "Extensively researched, David Griffiths and the Missionary 'History of Madagascar' reflects a masterful command of the primary material, along with the high attention to detail one has come to expect from Gwyn Campbell’s work." —Hilary Ingram (University College London), International Bulletin of Missionary Research

An Economic History of Imperial Madagascar, 1750-1895: The Rise and Fall of an Island Empire. African Studies Series. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2005. "The Economic History is a major work of scholarship... a definitive work to which all future historians will be indebted"    – Mervyn Brown (former British ambassador to Madagascar), Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History "Campbell's study... transforms our understanding of Madagascar and its place in the history of the western Indian Ocean region. It is also a model of how economic data can inform social and political historical analysis. This is a highly significant intervention in an era when economic history is battling to retain support especially among Africanists and other scholars of the colonial encounter for whom quantitative data have become unfashionable."    – Nigel Worden (University of Cape Town), EH.NET. "a substantial and thought-provoking contribution to the understanding of slavery and labor in the Indian Ocean World ... compelling argument to consider Madagascar as an integral part of the history of eastern Africa"    – Alison Fletcher (Kent State University), Journal of Colonialism and Colonial History "a very valuable, informative ... book."    – Robert Ross (University of Leiden), Journal of African History "an economic tour de force around "Imperial Madagascar."    – Pier Larson (Johns Hopkins University), The American Historical Review "The great strength and originality of this study... lie in the surprising wealth of detailed economic information the author has unearthed about the fascinating attempt of the Merina monarchs to transform their society through education, industrialization, agricultural development, and the manufacture of their own weaponry, including cannons and firearms... Highly recommended."    – J. E. Flint (emeritus, Dalhousie University), CHOICE "this study should be required reading for those who teach African and world history... One can only hope that more economic history of this calibre will be written on other parts of Africa"    – Jeremy Rich (Middle Tennessee State University), Canadian Journal of History

Southern Africa and Regional Cooperation in the Indian Ocean Region. London & New York: Routledge Curzon, 2003.

Abolition and Its Aftermath in Indian Ocean Africa and Asia. Studies in Slave and Post-Slave Societies and Cultures Series. London: Routledge, 2005. "This fine collection of essays is... from a linked series of stimulating conferences on slavery and forced labour in Indian Ocean Africa and Asia that Gwyn Campbell has organized... For students of comparative slavery and abolition, as for those of the Indian ocean, this is an important contribution to the literature."    – Edward Alpers (UCLA), Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies.
