After Slavery is an international research collaboration directed from Queen’s University Belfast, funded in its formative stages by the (UK) Arts and Humanities Research Council and benefiting from key institutional support from the Institute for Southern Studies at the University of South Carolina, the W. E. B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard University, and the Lowcountry Digital Library and Avery Research Center for African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston. See the After Slavery blog for ongoing discussions and interviews with scholars on the history of Reconstruction and its aftermath in the U.S. South.
