Please note: Jacqueline has left the "History" group at Duke University; some info here might not be up to date.
My research interests lie in the colonial French and British Caribbean, with a particular emphasis on gender both during slavery and in the post-emancipation era. Broadly, my work engages with questions of slavery, race, gender, labor, incarceration, and feminist approaches to the study of political economy in the Atlantic World.
On a related but distinct note, I am interested in social studies and literacy pedagogy at both the secondary and post-secondary levels. I am currently pursuing research on the history of writing centers at US universities, research that I believe has significant implications for the labor history of higher education as well as practical pedagogical applications with regard to undergraduate instruction.
I hold an Honors BA with High Distinction in History, Caribbean Studies, and Sociology from the University of Toronto; a MA in History from Duke University; and an MEd in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis on literacy instruction from the University of Virginia.
