Nicole S. Maskiell

I am an Associate Professor of African and African American Studies at Dartmouth College. I specialize in the colonial history of the Northeast, with a focus on overlapping networks of slavery in the Dutch and British Atlantic worlds.

My book, Bound by Bondage: Slavery and the Creation of a Northern Gentry, published by Cornell University Press, compares the ways that slavery shaped Northeastern culture by examining the social and kinship networks that intertwined enslavers with those they enslaved. It won the 2023 Hendricks Award from the New Netherland Institute.
