But we all want our scholarship to be recognized for its value and relevance beyond the academy, and we sometimes seek out colleagues, conferences, or publications that allow us to break out of our disciplinary, methodological or national silos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to its online description, <a href=\"https:\/\/manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk\/journals\/hrv\/\">Human Remains and Violence: An interdisciplinary journal<\/a> is a biannual, peer-reviewed publication that publishes papers from various academic disciplines within the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. Its focus \u201cdraws together the different strands of academic research on the dead body and the production of human remains en masse, whether in the context of mass violence, genocidal occurrences or environmental disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Thompson wasn\u2019t familiar with the journal before 2020, the edition\u2019s theme \u201cwas a perfect fit for my current work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also noticed during my research that Jessica Auchter, a Guerry and UC Foundation associate professor in political science and public service, had published an article in HRV in 2018, and she was kind enough to confirm a positive experience with this journal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thompson, a member of the UTC faculty since 2009, said his article chronicles the labor and life of Bob Butt, an enslaved gravedigger in Portsmouth, Virginia, \u201cwho parlayed the purported immunity of his Black body to seize privileges ranging from widespread mobility and notability to substantial wages and nearly his freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also featured in the article is an enslaved hearse driver named John Jones and scores of unnamed Blacks pressured to work feverishly during the summer of 1855.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis noteworthy episode demonstrates that Black labor, though not always Black suffering or lives, mattered more than ever to distressed white officials managing ravaged and depopulated cities of mass illness and death,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver a century and a half later, the convergence of a movement for Black lives and the COVID-19 pandemic imparts even greater urgency to understanding the historical nexus of race, disease and essential labor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The article included multiple rounds of peer review, including three regular editors of the journal, two anonymous external reviewers and three guest editors of the special issue\u2014Ga\u00eblle Clavandier (Universit\u00e9 Jean-Monnet Saint-Etienne), Graham Denyer Willis (University of Cambridge) and Finn Stepputat (Danish Institute for International Studies).<\/p>\n<p>Thompson, a scholar of the American South, slavery and the early national and antebellum U.S., wrote the book \u201cWorking on the Dock of the Bay: Labor and Enterprise in an Antebellum Southern Port\u201d in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The final chapter explored how racialized perceptions of susceptibility to epidemic diseases like yellow fever and cholera impacted labor competition among diverse and vital waterfront workers in Charleston, South Carolina. Thompson said the findings and arguments in that section have inspired him to begin a second book project, \u201cWorking Feverishly: Epidemics and Essential Labor in the Urban Old South.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m examining yellow fever outbreaks in early national Philadelphia, antebellum New Orleans, Portsmouth\/Norfolk and Charleston and postbellum Memphis,\u201d he said, \u201cand I\u2019m expanding my focus to include nurses, hearse drivers, gravediggers and policemen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mike Thompson examines the connections between racial politics and disease in the antebellum South.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2022\/01\/article-by-history-department-head-published-in-prestigious-journal\/\"><span>Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1493,"featured_media":39607,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[518,61,7712,64,48007],"tags":[119147,93763],"class_list":{"0":"post-39599","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-of-arts-sciences","8":"category-faculty-and-staff","9":"category-history","10":"category-news","11":"category-research-academics","12":"tag-human-remains-and-violence-an-interdisciplinary-journal","13":"tag-michael-thompson","14":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
