Brigette Jones, curator of social history at the Tennessee State Museum and Laura Kilcer, curator at Oak Alley in Vacherie, Louisiana, will join Dr. Rachel Stephens, associate professor of art history, for a discussion about their work in interpreting enslavement at historic sites.

Dr. Rachel Stephens, who will act as moderator, said, “So much excellent research about the history of enslavement is taking place, much of it within individual sites of slavery. This conversation is certain to be a thought-provoking inside look at the types of work taking place at ‘plantation’ museums across the South.”
