Additional Information:
Students will have to demonstrate a broad knowledge of the history of US slavery and be able to synthesize and critically engage with primary and secondary sources in order to produce an answer to a question set by module leader. For the second assessment students will closely research one WPA interview with a formerly enslaved person to produce a 1000 word blogpost that critically engages with all aspects within that interview. This should include detailed research of who interviewee was enslaved by, who their interviewer was, and should map the location of their enslavement vs interview location as well as their path through the domestic slave trade. Students will have to engage with online genealogy tools and online primary sources. Students will take formative MCQs at the end of each lecture to test engagement with the subject matter.
