Associate Professor of African and African American Studies

Nicole Maskiell specializes in the colonial history of the Northeast, with a focus on early Black Americans in the region.

She is the author of Bound by Bondage: Slavery and the Creation of a Northern Gentry, winner of the 2023 Henricks Award for best book-length manuscript relating to New Netherland and the Dutch colonial experience.
