Africans in Slavery and Post-emancipation: Evolution of a Field

Hosted on February 28, 2022, and moderated by Dr. Michael Gomez, Africans in Slavery and Post Emancipation: Evolution of a Field, featured Dr. Aisha Finch, Dr. Rashauna Johnson, and Dr. Laurie Lambert as panelists. The event staged a dialogue among scholars about critical interventions and genealogies in slavery and post-slavery studies. The panelists discussed critiques of memorialization, as well as debates about keywords in the literature like freedom and resistance. They also meditated on the need to develop new vocabularies, methodologies, and categories of analysis that enable fresh insight into black life under enslavement and post-emancipation. The panelists concluded by speculating on new directions in the field such as studies of marronage, gender, and sexuality.
