Tiana Bruno, faculty affiliate of the Center for Research on Social Change, has published a new article in the Annals of the American Association of Geographers.

Using dendrochronology as an example, the article explores different methodologies to analyze the biophysical afterlife of slavery. Bruno’s full article is available to read here.
