This year’s National Women’s History Month theme, "Women Who Advocate for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion," honors women dedicated to eradicating bias and discrimination from society and institutions. In UCI's Department of History, four scholars play a pivotal role in advancing this mission. They are (above, from left) Chelsea Schields, who explores the history of electrification in the Caribbean; Samantha Q. de Vera, who focuses on the experiences of enslaved and formerly enslaved Black women during and after the Civil War; Houri Berberian, who underscores the importance of understanding the history of minority women in addressing contemporary sociopolitical crises; and Nancy McLoughlin, who studies late medieval intellectual and gender history.
