We discussed the myths surrounding enslaved people's emotion, enslaved people's resistance, our emotion in the archive, and the ethics of this work. If you're interested in the book, please take a listen.

Thanks for sharing!

Congrats Mark!

I am so grateful to the British Academy for giving me the time and space to write this book, to @ceceliacancellaro.bsky.social and @vphillips.bsky.social at CUP for their editorial guidance, and to so many wonderful colleagues who have mentored me along the way.

It explores how enslaved people formed their own, gendered emotional frameworks to both refuse and survive the institution of slavery. It also considers how enslaved and formerly enslaved people spoke to different aspects of their emotional worlds in written, oral and visual testimony.

You too Eabha! Your research is fascinating, and important, so I can't wait to see more.

Please share widely!

We ran numerous workshops with young people, including students and young mothers about the barriers they face in life and their hopes for the future. They told us how they believe the barriers they face can be broken, and emphasised that they wanted their voices heard.
