[We have the following announcement. DRE]
Please join the American Philosophical Society next Tuesday, March 25th at 12PM ET for our weekly brown bag featuring Katrina Jagodinsky, an Associate Professor of History at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and two-time APS Phillips Fund Award recipient.
Dr. Katrina Jagodinsky will discuss Petitioning for Freedom: Habeas Corpus in the American West, 1812-1924, which is a growing database of habeas petitions from county, state, and federal courts that highlights the remarkable diversity of legal protagonists and actors contributing to American legal tradition. Using digital tools and mixed analytical methods, Petitioning for Freedom documents surprising trends and suggests the potential for innovative research practices to uncover marginalized people's legal strategies over the long nineteenth century.
This will be an all-virtual Brown Bag at 12PM ET. Join Zoom Meeting. Meeting ID: 896 3862 0185. Passcode: 006521.
