American Historian, JRF at Rothermere American Institute and Christ Church College, University of Oxford. Researching Black women photographers in the Civil Rights Movement.
I am heartbroken and horrified that the department where I received my PhD is under threat of closure. This is a dynamic and welcoming community that is at the forefront of American Studies in the UK. I encourage everyone to sign the below petition and rally behind our colleagues in Nottingham.

Happy 71st Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.
She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.
