New UDARI Legacies site – with student research – now live!

Posted on July 8, 2022 at: 8:10 am

Dear friends and colleagues: 

I am pleased to announce that the new, public-facing website for the UDARI Legacies of Dispossession and Enslavement at UD committee is now live! https://sites.udel.edu/udari-legacies/ 

The site’s current feature is a suite of original blog posts authored by students from HIST 460/660: Race and Inequality in Delaware (Fall 2021). Building on the students’ Scholar in the Library presentation last December, these deeper dives include investigations into:

• Black property-ownership in antebellum Newark
• Local landowners’ strategies for exploiting Black labor
• Trustee Rathmell Wilson’s ties to human bondage
• The influence of politics on student debates on slavery

…and much, much more!

Healing Us: Cultivating Healing and Change Through Empathic Listening (copyright 2021)

“Healing Us: Cultivating Healing and Change Through Empathic Listening Workshop” was designed to facilitate and foster racial healing among students identifying as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within the University of Delaware campus. Healing Us is a structured, process-oriented workshop, inspired by the significant need for community based racial healing initiatives. It uses group therapy techniques and collectivist community-based practices to guide participants through the process of developing empathy for their peers. Healing Us was funded by a community engagement fellowship grant from the University of Delaware Anti-Racism Initiative (UDARI).
