# Event Details

- **Event Name**: An Evening with Rhae Lynn Barnes: Darkology
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 02 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Dr. Barnes' Darkology is a landmark work with research rooted in University of Vermont's history and illuminates a path toward a more just and equal society.

Dr. Rhae Lynn Barnes is an award-winning historian and Assistant Professor of American Cultural History at Princeton University.  Hailed for its narrative power and rigorous research, Darkology earned a Kirkus Star for exceptional literary merit, and received a starred review from Library Journal, which called it a "landmark piece of history."

A leading expert on the globalization of American popular culture, Dr. Barnes explores the intersections of music, film, and material culture. Her work is deeply rooted in the local history of Vermont; for over a decade, she studied and conducted extensive oral histories related to Kake Walk and Burlington's cultural history.

By tracing minstrelsy’s evolution through oral histories, material culture, and a wide range of multimedia sources, Barnes has recast this American story with “vivid and engaging storytelling” (Howard French). Darkology is a landmark work that peers beneath the boulders deliberately obscuring our past—illuminating a path toward a more just and equal society in America’s future.
