We’re excited to host Dr. Seth E. Rockman for our annual Black History Month Lecture on Sunday, February 8 at 2 p.m. He will present virtually on his 2024 book Plantation Goods: A Material History of American Slavery, a 2025 Pulitzer Prize finalist in History. Registrants will be sent a Zoom link prior to the lecture.Seth E. Rockman is a historian of the United States focusing on the period between the American Revolution and the Civil War. His research unfolds at the intersection of slavery studies, labor history, material culture studies, and the history of capitalism. Rockman’s earlier work— the award-winning Scraping By: Wage Labor, Slavery, and Survival in Early Baltimore (2009) and the co-edited volume Slavery’s Capitalism: A New History of American Economic Development (2016)— sought to better understand the relationship of slavery and capitalism in the American past.
