Research

The African American Trail Project is a collaborative public history initiative housed at Tufts University.

The Gill Fellowship supports engaged scholarship on questions of race and democracy, broadly defined.

The Slavery, Colonialism, and their Legacies at Tufts University (SCL) initiative will illuminate the history of slavery and colonialism within and beyond Tufts, shaping the future of how universities study their institutional pasts. 

Dr. Greenidge, Dr. Field, and Dr. Singleton have been tasked by the City of Boston to narrate and quantify the significance of the slave trade to the history of Boston. The report will aim to offer a rigorous index to the myriad ways in which the development of the City of Boston depended upon the slave trade.

Dr. Field, Dr. Greenidge and Dr. Singleton have sketched out a plan for a robust educational program to curate a selection of the sites from the tours of the African American Trail Project and the Royall House and Slave Quarters, in order to offer a set of monthly community-led bus tours covering the long history of slavery and freedom in Boston.
