Thinking with and from Gullah/Geechee Nation
Led by Dr. Kate Derickson, the CREATE Initiative has a long-standing partnership with the Gullah/Geechee Nation and conducts research that supports the shared goal of Gullah/Geechee self-determination. This work includes scholarly research aimed at asking and answering questions that are a priority to our Gullah/Geechee collaborators, initiatives that bring Gullah/Geechee people to campus to teach and lead research, and efforts to apply the frameworks we develop together with the Gullah/Geechee Sustainability Think Tank to our geographic inquiry and our approach to community-engaged research. Toward that end, we have hosted Queen Quet, Chieftess and Head of State of the Gullah/Geechee Nation, as a visiting professor with support from the Winton Chair in the Liberal Arts, produced numerous StoryMaps that tell the history and future of the Gullah/Geechee Nation with our collaborators, and published research on what this collaboration teaches us about scholarly inquiry more broadly.
