Local elected official, writer
Welcome! While pursuing a career in public policy, currently as a county commissioner in Orange County, N.C., I remain active as a writer of scholarly and personal essays. The common theme that animates my professional career and my contributions to scholarship is a trust in the power of ideas, powerfully communicated, to inspire thoughtful dialogue.
Available now! The Edward Tales, by Elizabeth Spencer, edited and with a critical introduction by Sally Greene, University Press of Mississippi
My work on Judge Thomas Ruffin and Albion Tourgee recovers lost or neglected stories about slavery and freedom in nineteenth-century North Carolina. We are still living with the implications of these stories. The Mississippi Quarterly essay on Elizabeth Spencer also invokes a neglected episode in the nineteenth-century history of the Black freedom struggle. The earlier works on Virginia Woolf come out of my graduate studies and dissertation.
