JeMiah Baht Israel
Graduate Assistant, History
The focus of her MA thesis (Critical Race Theory and Enslavement at the Dinsmore Plantation) is the enslavement of Africans and African Americans at the Dinsmore Plantation in Boone County, Kentucky. JeMiah’s research used archival records and archaeological methods to examine enslavement from the perspective of those who were enslaved. The purpose of this research is to give a voice to those who were enslaved on the Dinsmore plantation and to advocate for the importance of educating the community about the history and truth of what took place at this site.
Ultimately, JeMiah’s goal is become a tenured professor in African American History with a research focus on the period of the enslavement of African and African Americans. It is also her fervent hope to use doctorate education in History to help resolve contemporary problems that plague the African American community.

Graduate Assistant, History
I am a Ph.D. candidate in history concentrating on public history. My dissertation explores the institutional formation of the Black Public history in the late twentieth century the longstanding effort among Black Americans to collect, preserve, interpret, and popularize the Black experiences in the past within the public sphere. My projects particularly follow the life and work of Carroll Greene Jr. (1931 - 2007), a distinguished yet lesser-known Black museum consultant and preservationist, as a guide and window into the Black public history practices and disciplines.

She wants to explore reproductive politics in the context of communalism, nationalism and colonialism and analyse how imperial legal and moral legacies impacted post-colonial policies and shaped people's reproductive destinies.
