In this talk, Daley tells a story of race, gender, and class through the perspective of American Girl doll, Addy Walker. In detailing her experience visiting the flagship American Girl store in Chicago, Illinois to spending ten days on the Underground Railroad, Daley shows how doing things with dolls and experiencing girlhood blend together in a mix of play and imagination, while also highlighting how Addy Walker’s story of enslavement adds complexity to these experiences. Daley's exploration deepens our understanding of how historical representations and narratives of Black girlhood are constructed and experienced in both educational and play-based contexts.
