Changing the Script: Women as History Makers

events

This talk considers the history of women who built archives and forged creative new ways to become history makers. Reflecting on the history of the institutions that shaped my own learning experiences as a young white woman researching Black women’s history in predominantly male, white History departments in the early 2000s and, in conversation with some of the brilliant women I’ve worked with, we’ll explore how, together, we can change the script which positions those marginalized by gender, sexuality, race and class on the sidelines of history.

This event will be introduced by Professor Andrea Major, and in conversation with Nicole Butler, Dr Laura KingDr Claire Martin and Dr Olivia Wright.
