I am pursuing a dual PhD in Gender Studies and History.  I received a B.A. in History and European Studies, with a minor in Gender Studies, from the University of Arkansas in 2006 and a M.A. in History from Indiana University in 2009.  My concentration within the Department of Gender Studies is Sexualities, Desires, and Identities.  I served as an associate instructor for Gender Studies from 2006-2008, during which time I lead discussion sections for G101, graded for G225, and taught G101 (Gender, Culture, and Society).  Since 2008 I have worked as an editorial assistant for the Journal of American History.

My current research and teaching interests include the history of feminism, debates over abortion, the intersection of second-wave feminism and the New Right as seen in conservative feminist groups, gender and social movements, feminist theory, gender and the family in U.S. history, women’s clubs in the late 19th and early 20th century U.S., and the race uplift movement.
