Liana Beatrice Valerio is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick specializing in History with a focus on slavery, the Americas, and emotions. Her research centers around the impact of slavery in the United States and Cuba, particularly examining the emotional dynamics that perpetuate these systems. Valerio is currently adapting her PhD thesis into a book titled 'Violent White Emotion: Slavery, Fear, Performance in Nineteenth Century South Carolina & Cuba.' This work explores the interplay of fear and confidence among white enslavers and the emotional dynamics that sustain slavery in the Americas. Through her research, she illustrates how emotional strategies were employed by white enslavers to deflect abolitionist criticism and maintain economic confidence in slave societies while reinforcing white supremacy amidst uprisings. Valerio teaches various history courses, including the module on the History of Global Organized Crime and the History of the United States. Her academic contributions include published articles in notable journals and book reviews that critique contemporary works on slavery and race.
