Dissertation Title:
Care in Crisis: Black Women and the Politics of Labor in Atlanta, 1968-1984

Eshe Sherley holds a PhD in History from the University of Michigan. Her fellowship project, "Care in Crisis: Black Women and the Politics of Labor in Atlanta, 1968-1984," argues that a network of working poor Black women in Atlanta demanded that national and state governments invest in infrastructures of care. Through their organizing, Sherley shows that they developed a Black feminist politics of social reproduction.
