Do New Histories of Slavery Mean New Histories of Southern Evangelicalism?
In January at the AHA/ASCH meeting, a group of scholars examined how new scholarship on the history of slavery might affect scholars who focus on religion. Convened by Bob Elder at the meeting, JSR is honored to share the panel with a broader audience. Our hope is is that we can continue to share panel presentations in the Forums section as we continue to think critically about the role of religion in the American South.
