The project Racialized Motherhood examines newspapers from 1600 to 1900 to analyze geographical and diachronic change on patterns of discourse about women’s reproductive roles. We use methods from history, sociolinguistics, and digital humanities to examine how the reproductive capacity of women from diverse origins was discursively differentiated.
The project is a collaboration between Erasmus University Rotterdam and the University of Copenhagen funded by a Sapere Aude grant from the Independent Research Fund Denmark. Natália da Silva Perez is the principal investigator.
