Public Memory of the Plantation

This study is interested in how our collective memories of the past shape our lives in the present, how they construct or shore up identity, and how they manifest in the built world around us. This research attends to the ways that material practices of remembrance-museums, memorials, and monuments-related to the history of the Transatlantic slave trade operate rhetorically to uphold or challenge investments and identities in American public life. Particularly in a moment of active public discourse around this subject, I maintain a rhetorical perspective that engages questions about how, when, and where this discourse occurs and what publics and counter-publics it constructs. This study aims to interrogate the effectiveness of material and discursive rhetorical decisions in such sites by developing critical insights and perspectives for the operation of museums, memorials, and heritage sites in North Carolina and Louisiana.

Pandemic partnerships: Schools, families, and educational inequality during COVID-19

Our project aims to document how COVID-19 is changing schools and families, and to trace the ways these changes are shaping educational inequality. In collaboration with North Carolina's Guilford County Schools, we are surveying school leaders, teachers, and parents and guardians about the academic, material, and socio-emotional resources that school communities are collectively employing in response to the pandemic. Our analyses will document school school/family collaboration during the COVID-19 crisis; investigate racial and socioeconomic inequalities in access to school services and supports; and evaluate the consequences of school supports and school/family collaboration for learning loses during the pandemic-induced interruption in regular schooling. Ultimately, we hope this project will shed light on strategies that can mitigate the pandemic's potentially disastrous consequences for educational inequality.
