Beth Wilson (University of Reading)
Slavery, Emotions and Gender in the Antebellum US South How might historians of slavery utilise approaches from the history of emotions? What can doing so illuminate about the institution of slavery and the lives of the enslaved? In this short talk and Q&A, Dr Beth Wilson will give an overview of my current book project on slavery, emotions, and gender in the US South, discuss some of the sources, methods, and theoretical approaches she uses to consider emotion in the archive of slavery, and reflect on the challenges and ethical implications of doing this work. |
