So my work as an historian is archival and based in the research that I love, but it also is informed by a very personal way of knowing. I got the opportunity to bring that all together in Black Folk! I am so excited to share it with you all! I can’t wait to hear what you think!
This is such important infrastructure work going on to support a transition to #openaccess for monographs at #universitypresses. The need for it came up just yesterday in a terrific @AUPresses virtual meeting panel.

The photo is taken in 'selfie' style - with Laura holding the camera. Everyone is smiling, except for Cameron, who is leaning towards the camera trying to get in shot.
