Colleen Dunlavy, Professor of History, University of Wisconsin-MadisonDunlavy's interests center on the history of capitalism -- an amalgam of business history, the history of technology, labor history, legal history, and political economy, with healthy doses of (quantitative) economic, social, and cultural history. At heart, she is a comparativist with special interests in the U.S. and Europe (especially Germany) in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A key theme motivating her research, writing, and teaching is the relationship between political and economic change -- in particular, understanding the manifold ways in which politics, broadly construed, has shaped economic change. Her current research interests include: the history of shareholder voting rights in the U.S., Britain, France, and Germany in the nineteenth century; the history of "economic history" since the turn of the twentieth century; the history of chain stores in the U.S. and Germany, 1870s-1930s; and the standardization movement in the U.S. and internationally in the 1920s.

Sarah Haley, Assistant Professor of Women's Studies, University of California-Los Angeles Haley received her Ph.D. in the combined program in African American Studies and American Studies at Yale University. Her research areas include nineteenth and twentieth century African American cultural and social history, gender history, feminist theory, labor and working-class studies, gender violence, and carceral regimes. Sarah continues to develop her research on black women and punishment, incorporating archival material from comparative southern contexts as part of the completion of her manuscript, Engendering Captivity: Black Women and Convict Labor, 1865-1938. Engendering Captivity is an interdisciplinary social and cultural history of imprisoned women’s experiences in southern convict labor systems during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The project investigates the significance of the black female subject to the formation of Jim Crow modernity by using the penal regime as a lens through which to interrogate the institutionalization of gendered racial terror and the racial construction of gendered subject positions during the development of Jim Crow.
