Re: Seeking Chair and Commentator for SHA 2024 Panel on Slavery and Space

Hello all,

Thank you to everyone who messaged me about my post. We have found both a chair and two commentators for our proposed panel. I am incredibly grateful for the generosity and kindness of H-South scholars willing to share their time and expertise with myself and my panel members for next year's SHA annual meeting. We are excited to submit our proposal and hope we can share our research with you all next October.

Best,

Seeking Chair and Commentator for SHA 2024 Panel on Slavery and Space

Hello all,

I know this is very last minute considering the deadline is this Friday, but myself and two others have formed a panel that speaks to issues of slavery, space, and borders for the SHA 2024 Conference.

If anyone is interested in our panel and in serving in one of these two capacities, I would love to hear from you. Please email me at apj006@uark.edu.

My paper looks at how Black and Indigenous people encountered and understood the Texas State Penitentiary (and the subsequent use of convict leasing) throughout the 1870s. It explores the role that the developing prison system had in these people's lives as it expanded
