Historian of Gender and Race in American History

A little about me

My name is Emily Lampert, and I am a historian of gender and slavery in the Anglo-Atlantic world. I recently graduated from Rice University where my dissertation, “The Virginian Atlantic: Enslaved Reproduction and the American South in the British Imagination,” was advised by Drs. James Sidbury and W. Caleb McDaniel. For more information on my dissertation project and current publications, visit the Research page.

I am also a passionate educator and love being in the classroom. I am an assistant professor in the History, Humanities, and Languages department at University of Houston-Downtown. For further information please see the Teaching page.
