Dr. Scully has her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan and is an
historian of South Africa and the Atlantic World. Her research interests
focus on comparative women's and gender history, with an emphasis on
slavery and emancipation, and, more recently, on women's rights in
Africa. She is the author of Liberating the Family? Gender and British
Slave Emancipation in the Rural Western Cape, South Africa, 1823-1853
(Heinemann, Social History of Africa Series, Portsmouth NH; James Currey
London; David Philip, South Africa, 1997). Her co-edited collection with
Diana Paton of the University of Newcastle, Gender and Slave
Emancipation in the Atlantic World came out in 2005 with Duke
University Press. She is the author of the AHA pamphlet, Race and
Ethnicity in Women's and Gender History in Global Perspective (2006).
She has just completed a book, with Clifton Crais, on "Sara Baartman and
the Hottentot Venus: a ghost story and a biography." Dr Scully teaches
courses on comparative race and sexuality, violence and genocide,
post-colonial feminist theory, and feminist approaches to international
human rights.
