Join us for a conversation with Dr. Kristin Moriah for discussion about her work on Mary Ann Shadd Cary, “Papers Worthy of Patronage: Black Feminist Research Methods and the Digital Humanities.”
Mary Ann Shadd Cary was a trailblazing Black feminist, activist, journalist, and educator whose achievements can be traced from Delaware, Washington, DC, and across Canada. Dr. Moriah will discuss her work on the first-ever edited collection on pioneering thinker Mary Ann Shadd Cary that centers innovative scholarly work from a broad range of interdisciplinary perspectives.
As we approach the 200th anniversary of Shadd Cary’s birth in 2023, this collection will shine a new light on the importance of her work and the creative and scholarly work she has inspired.
Also, get a sneak peek overview of the classroom-friendly exhibit “Becoming Mary Ann Shadd Cary: A Life in the Pursuit of Justice” by Kelli Barnes, University of Delaware PhD candidate, and Dr. Arline Wilson. University of Delaware Special Collections Librarian and Digital Humanities and Africana Scholar. This event is presented in partnership with Delaware Humanities, the Colored Conventions Project, and the University of Delaware.
