Monet Timmons received her B.A. in English and African American Studies at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. Her research focuses on Black women in the archive from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Through public humanities work, her research uncovers the fragments of these archives to reveal the complexities of these women's lives to make a larger intervention about Black women’s lived experiences across space and time. Monet is currently a third-year English PhD student and an African American Public Humanities (AAPHI) Fellow at the University of Delaware.
