History of Education and Politics during the Emancipation Period in the United States: A Study of the Southern Freedmen's School and the Gullah Statesman

在第一年，我通过观察南卡罗来纳州波福特县的宾夕法尼亚学校和罗伯特·斯莫尔斯的案例，考察了自由人的教育及其在19世纪美国南部现代公共教育体系建立中的作用。我得以在19世纪学术研究所的学术期刊上发表了这篇专著。在接下来的一年(去年)，我进一步检查了我的研究，并在几个研讨会上发表了论文。因此，我在国际研究与区域发展协会的学术期刊上发表了研究报告。基于过去两年的研究，我意识到研究宾夕法尼亚学派与更广泛社区的联系具有重要意义，因为它展示了世界从大英帝国向泛美主义的转变，以及教育在帝国背景下发挥的作用。对这一学派的研究，不仅丰富了我们对自由人口教育的理解意义，也使我们在更大的意义上探索了教育与政治的十字路口。

In the first year, I have examined the freedpeople’s education and its role in the establishment of the modern public educational system in the U.S. South during the 19th century by looking at the case of the Penn School and Robert Smalls in Beaufort County in South Carolina. I was able to publish the monograph on the academic journal of the Institute for the Study of the 19th Century Scholarship. In the following year (last year), I further examined my research and presented at several seminars. As a result, I have published research note on the academic journal of the Association of International Studies and Regional Development. Based on last two years of research, I have realized that the study of Penn School’s connection to wider community is significant because it shows the world’s transition from Pax-Britannica to Pax-Americana as well as roles of education played within imperial context. The study of this school leads us not only to the enrichment of our understanding meaning of education for freed-population but also to the exploration in crossroads of education and politics in a larger sense.
