Please join the Department of History and the School of Law for a talk by Katrina Jagodinsky on “Petitioning for Freedom: Habeas Corpus in the American West, 1812–1924.”
Free and open to the public
Jagodinsky is Associate Professor of History at University of Nebraska Lincoln, where she is the founding director of the Digital Legal Research Lab and leads a Mellon-funded higher ed initiative in US Law and Race. She recently launched an award-winning database entitled Petitioning for Freedom: Habeas Corpus in the American West, 1812-1924 with support from the National Science Foundation and will complete her book based on the dataset with a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities in the coming academic year.
Jagodinsky will share findings from the Petitioning for Freedom dataset, particularly those coming out of Oregon archives, in addition to trends across the American West. These cases represent histories of petitioners who challenged enslavement, colonialism, coverture, deportation, incarceration, and institutionalization, demonstrating a remarkable range of legal mobilization among the most vulnerable.
