Felicia Fricke joins PRIVACY as Assistant Professor
We are pleased to welcome Felicia Fricke to the Centre for Privacy Studies, where she joins as Assistant Professor on the Racialized Motherhood project.
Her research in this history project focuses on the decisions that enslaved women—particularly pregnant women and mothers with children—had to make when running from slavery in the eastern Caribbean between the 1770s and 1870s. To do this, she is using a large dataset of fugitive advertisements from eastern Caribbean colonial newspapers in English, Dutch, French, and Spanish.
Felicia’s academic background is in the history, archaeology, and osteology of slavery in the Caribbean. Her other research interests include free women’s role in colonialism; print culture; and ethics.
We look forward to the perspectives she will bring to the Centre.
