On Friday, September 26th, second-year PhD student Gwendolyn Wallace presented new work at the 110th Annual Conference of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) in Atlanta, GA. The ASALH was founded in 1915 by Dr. Carter Woodson, a leading African American intellectual of the 20th century.
Participating in a moderated panel on new approaches to Black environmental history, Gwendolyn’s paper was entitled “‘They’re Gonna Build a River:’ Race, Energy, and Arboreal Continuance in the Santee Cooper Basin.”
Congratulations, Gwendolyn!
