Grants and Guidance

The first phase of this project was made possible by the Santa Clara University College of Arts and Sciences’ REAL grant program. It was through their generous grant that I was able to dedicate my summer to researching and creating this website. I would like to thank the program director Dr. Katy Korsmeyer for her continued support of myself and this project, as well as her ongoing efforts to fund undergraduate research. Information on the REAL program can be found here: REAL – College of Arts and Sciences – Santa Clara University.

I would also like to thank my faculty advisors, Dr. Kirstyn Leuner and Dr. Danielle Morgan, for their mentorship and guidance for this project. Their knowledge in Digital Humanities and African American Literature respectively has inspired me to continue to work to recover under represented authors.
