LLC30: Culture and Democracy in Nineteenth-Century New York
About
We are 19th-century scholars interested in race, gender, reform, religion, politics, art, and literature in 19th-century New York. We are graduate students, faculty, and librarians who look at site specific archives, visual culture, and literature.

Collaborative Goals
This group has met since 2019, with interruptions from the pandemic in 2020. We meet in Ithaca, Syracuse, and Rochester with faculty and graduate students involved in archives and literary questions about 19th century U.S. culture.
We now propose meeting in Ithaca in September 2023 with a keynote speaker, two graduate student panels, and a round table discussion. We will be following this meeting after a planned meeting in Rochester in April 2023, ideally to be followed by another meeting in Rochester in Fall 2024.
