A virtual fellow's forum with Laura Sandy, Associate Professor in the History of Slavery & Director for the Centre for the Study of International Slavery (CSIS), University of Liverpool, UK from July 21, 2022.
About the presentation
Building on research contained in her monograph, Early American Overseers of Slavery: Supervisors, Enslaved Labourers, and the Plantation Enterprise, Dr. Sandy expands our awareness and understanding of the lives of non-elite free women, female servants, and enslaved women who labored on plantations. In particular, her research uncovers and investigates women who played supervisory and skilled roles at Monticello and Mount Vernon.
