About

Stephanie J. Richmond

I am an associate professor of history at Norfolk State University in Norfolk, VA. I teach and write about gender and race in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with particular interest in the history of slavery and its abolition, women’s rights and the military.

I received my Ph.D. in History at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. My dissertation focused on women abolitionists and the development of early feminist thought in the transatlantic antislavery movement. Prior to completing my dissertation, I worked as an archivist at a variety of institutions.

My current research projects can be found under “works in progress.” My digital humanities work can also be found on this website.
