Bianca Dang is an Assistant Professor and the Donald W. Logan Family Endowed Chair in the Department of History at the University of Washington. She received her Ph.D. in History with a focus on African American Studies from Yale University in 2021. Her research centers on the histories of Black freedom movements and state coercion in the Americas during the nineteenth century. Currently, Dr. Dang is working on a manuscript tentatively titled 'Making Meaningful Freedom: Gendered Struggles for Autonomy in the U.S. and Haiti, 1780-1880.' This project explores how Haitians and African Americans emphasized autonomy and community-based approaches to freedom, focusing particularly on the strategies employed by Black women, both Haitian and American, to combat racism and misogyny in their pursuits for autonomy. Dr. Dang's teaching and research interests encompass the complex intersection of race, gender, and social movements across these historical landscapes.
