Biographical Note
Deborah "Dee" James graduated from UNC Asheville in 1973. After attending graduate school at Clemson University, and gaining her doctorate from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, in 1984 Dee returned to become part of the Literature faculty at UNC Asheville. She was joined by her husband Charles, who became part of the chemistry faculty. Dee and Charles, along with fellow faculty members Dwight and Dolly Mullen, and Carolyn Briggs, director of African-American Student Affairs, developed the African-American Colloquium, a program for first year African-American students at UNC Asheville.
Scope and Content
This archive holds documents donated to the University Archives by Dr. Deborah James, when she retired from UNC Asheville in the summer of 2018. Although the items are related to Dr. James' teaching in the Literature department, and her work with the Africana Studies program and the African-American Colloquium, they are archived as her personal papers, and not as an official university archive.
