Tools for exploring settler colonialism, intersectionality, Caribbean diaspora history, and feminist historiography — drawn from UW–Madison and H-Net curricula.
Pick a settler colonial context and trace the logic of elimination — how settler colonial states handled indigenous presence, what the difference is between elimination and assimilation, and what resistance looked like.
Pick a historical figure or group and trace how gender, race, and class intersected to shape their experience — not each axis separately but how they combined and what that produced.
Pick a Caribbean island and trace its full historical arc — the Atlantic slave trade, plantation economy, emancipation, colonial administration, independence movements, and the 20th-century diaspora.
Pick a historical topic — war, labor, religion, empire — and see what questions feminist historians asked that conventional history overlooked. Whose stories were missing, and what changed when they were included.
Pick a Caribbean cultural practice and trace how it blended African, European, and indigenous elements under colonial conditions — what creolization produced, how it was suppressed, how it survived.
