Description
Join DHS Head Curator Leigh Rifenburg and University of Delaware professor Dael Norwood in a FREE, online event to learn more about the COVID Chronicles Delaware project and how future historians and researchers can utilize a collection like CCDE in their research, teaching, and helping people make connections to the past.
COVID Chronicles Delaware asks Delawareans to reflect on their experiences living through the COVID-19 pandemic and capture them through writing, art, image, or song. Submissions to CCDE will become part of the permanent DHS digital collection to serve individually and collectively as primary sources for future generations.
Dael A. Norwood is a historian of nineteenth-century America specializing on the global dimensions of U.S. politics and economics. He earned his doctorate at Princeton University in 2012, and is currently an assistant professor in the Department of History at the University of Delaware.
Before coming to Newark, Norwood served as the Schwartz Postdoctoral Fellows at the New-York Historical Society and the New School, the Cassius Marcellus Clay Postdoctoral Associate in the History Department at Yale University, and as an assistant professor of history at Binghamton University.
