Join Associate Professor at Georgia State University Dr. Harcourt Fuller as he delves into the currencies from more than 80 countries in Africa, Europe, and the Americas that illustrate 10,000 years of Black history.  He will discuss his traveling exhibition, Black Money: World Currencies Featuring African and African Diasporic History and Cultures and the importance of money—not just as something to spend, but also as a visual source of knowledge about world histories and cultures.

Dr. Harcourt Fuller is a Fulbright Global Scholar and Associate Professor of History in the Department of History at Georgia State University (GSU). He holds a PhD in International History and an MSc (with Merit) in History of International Relations from the London School of Economics (LSE), in addition to a BA in International Studies and an MA in History from the City University of New York (CUNY). Dr. Fuller’s publications include the monograph, Building the Ghanaian Nation-State: Kwame Nkrumah’s Symbolic Nationalism (2014), the co-edited book Money in Africa (2009), as well as book chapters, and articles in peer-reviewed journals such as African Studies Quarterly, Nations and Nationalism, African Arts, Journal of Africana Religions, and Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
