Dr. Tamika Nunley Invites Ordinary Voices to Historic Conversations

Moving from the sometimes-stereotypical macro to the deeply personal micro, Research Professor Dr. Tamika Nunley (History) broadens and enriches the scholarly conversation on the institution of slavery, African American women and gender in the early republic and American Civil War examining these dynamics through a lens focused on individual experiences. For Dr. Nunley, looking at the lives of everyday people is a powerful way to see how society operated in the past while understanding how the country, or a particular moment, was shaped.
