Professor Stephanie Camp, noted feminist historian at the University of Washington and beloved mother, family member, friend, citizen, scholar, and teacher, died April 2, 2014. A Seattle Times Obituary describes her significant contributions as a scholar and as a colleague:

She was a well-known feminist historian who wrote a groundbreaking book on enslaved women in the antebellum South, and a social-justice activist who dared to take controversial stands. But Stephanie Camp was also known for her love of popular culture and her sense of adventure and for hosting great parties.

The Department of History will host a memorial service and reception in remembrance and celebration of Stephanie's remarkable life on Sunday, June 8, 2014. This event is open to the public but we request an RSVP by May 30th.
