Women and the Twentieth-Century African Diaspora: Historical Approaches

September 12
Supported by a Glasscock Symposium and Small Conference Grant

This symposium focuses on the study of the twentieth-century African Diaspora. It generates a conversation that begins to address the following questions: Where does the field of African Diaspora women’s history stand? What new methodological and theoretical approaches have historians developed? How have archival practices within archives and local communities shaped scholarship on the subject? Scholarly presentations will represent the histories of the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean, and West Africa.
