Faculty Director of General Education
My research focuses primarily on understanding identity, specifically how groups come to understand their own identity and the impact this has on their actions and worldviews. As a historian of the New (or post-Civil War) South, my goal is to tell a story that has previously been overlooked, and in doing so, to reframe the larger narrative.
