She received her doctorate in Anthropology and History and a certificate in Museum Studies from the University of Michigan. Patterson is co-editor of Curating Difficult Knowledge: Violent Pasts in Public Places (Palgrave Macmillan, 2011) and Anthrohistory: Unsettling Knowledge and Questioning Discipline (University of Michigan Press, 2011). As a scholar, curator, and activist, she is particularly interested in the intersections of memory, childhood, and violence in postcolonial Africa, and the ways in which they are represented and engaged in contemporary public spheres.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In this presentation, She will examine and contextualize the dominant tropes found in representations of African children in postcards produced in South Africa and beyond in the early 1900s. She will also consider the circulation of these images and the ideas about Africa and Africans that they reflected and helped produce, both then and now.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>For event poster, click <a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/monicaeileenpattersonposter1.doc\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>This is part of the African Studies Brownbag <\/strong><strong>Seminar <\/strong><strong>Series <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"http:\/\/www.carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/\">http:\/\/www.carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please contact the Institute of African Studies at<\/p>\n<p>613-520-2600 ext. 2220 or &#x41;&#x66;&#x72;&#x69;&#x63;&#x61;&#x6e;&#x5f;&#x53;&#x74;&#x75;&#100;&#105;&#101;&#115;&#64;&#99;&#97;rleton&#x2e;&#x63;&#x61;<\/p>\n<p>*For a campus map, please see: <a href=\"http:\/\/carleton.ca\/campus\/map\/\">http:\/\/carleton.ca\/campus\/map\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"daevent-type":[],"event-audience":[],"event-featured":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
