Writing At The Williamsburg Bray School?, Terry L. Meyers
Arts & Sciences Articles
"I’ve become interested recently in whether writing was taught to the pupils in the Williamsburg Bray School. I had assumed all along that it was, and that the discovery of 40 some slate pencils at the Bray School Dig was confirmation of that.
I’d not been alone in my assumption about the teaching of writing, for the great majority of those interested in the Bray School have affirmed that the curriculum included writing..."
Slavery On Their Minds: Representing The Institution In Children's Picture Books, Raphael E. Rogers
Slavery On Their Minds: Representing The Institution In Children's Picture Books, Raphael E. Rogers
Doctoral Dissertations

Given that many primary and secondary school teachers are committed to using picture book fiction to teach students about slavery, it is necessary to explore how slavery is depicted in these texts. One of the goals of this study is to contribute to the discussion about how the featured picture books engage with and respond to the early historiography of slavery, which asserted that Black slave were content and docile and that slave owners were kind and paternalistic.

English Independent Study Projects
Under the supervision of Meredith Goldsmith in the English Department, I spent this semester developing archival research projects for lower level students in the humanities. My project corresponded with the aims of the Council for Undergraduate Research, which works to develop undergraduate research skills throughout the disciplines.

The final exercises presented here focus on the subjects of Walt Whitman, Marian Anderson, and Michel de Montaigne.
