From Uncle Tom’s Cabin to “Countering Colston”: Slavery and Memory in a Transatlantic Undergraduate Research Project
Abstract
In 2016–17 and in 2018–19, undergraduate students and faculty at Huron University College in London, Canada,
and at Bath Spa University in the UK collaborated on an innovative community-based research project: Phantoms of the Past: Slavery and Resistance, History and Memory in the Atlantic World. Our paper outlines the
structure of the project, highlights student research, and argues that the Phantoms undergraduate student researchers helped to create an innovative and important body of work on transatlantic Public History and local
commemorative practice. N. Reid-Maroney, A. Bell, N. Brooks, O. Otele, R. White, From Uncle Tom’s Cabin to “Countering Colston”: Slavery and Memory in a Transatlantic Undergraduate Research Project, «International Public History», 2, 2019, n. 1, pp. 1-4
