Beschreibung:
Katherine Paugh is Associate Professor of History at the University of Oxford. Her research interests encompass the history of race and gender, the history of medicine, and the politics of childbearing. She has been selected for over a dozen grants and fellowships that support outstanding research, including awards from the Huntington Library and the Harvard International Seminar on the History of the Atlantic World. Her work has appeared in journals including the Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Past & Present, and Slavery & Abolition. In 2014, she was awarded the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians Article Prize.
In the age of abolition, British politicians, slave owners, doctors, and missionaries were promoting motherhood among women working on Caribbean plantations, as a way to sustain the labor force in the absence of new African recruits. Paugh recounts the story of a Barbadian midwife to explore how this effort was experienced by Afro-Caribbean women.
