Women of the Brown Atlantic Project

This project introduces the metaphor of the rainbow in order to think about black women's experiences of mobility in the "Brown" (i.e., Lusophone) Atlantic. In 2017, I received the AHRC Early Career Leadership Fellows grant to conduct research on mobility and memory in the Brown (i.e. Lusophone) Atlantic under the project titled "Women of the Brown Atlantic: Real and Imaginary Passages in Portuguese 1711-2011". This project is a follow-up to the AHRC-funded initiative, "Consuming Authenticities: Time, Place and the Past in Construction of 'Authentic' Foods and Drinks," which was honored with a Care for the Future Early Career Developmental Award in November 2014.
