As a historian of the Atlantic World and a practitioner of public and digital History, I specialize in the history of slavery and emancipation during the nineteenth century. My research incorporates black voices from archives that provide insight on the history of Haitian trade, migration, and diplomacy. My forthcoming monograph shares the experiences of Haitian men and women, supported by kin and non-kin networks, who traversed the Atlantic World and became integral parts of their newfound communities, all while maintaining their national identity. In addition, I have led local, national, and international public and digital history initiatives. This includes the establishment of curriculum, constructing places of public memory (memorials, historical walking trails with educational signage, and pop-up exhibits), and facilitating partnerships in creating multiple digital projects (websites, digital archives, oral histories, and digital mapping).
