Biography:
I am a dual title PhD student in History and African American studies. My research explores the usage of Federal power in the Civil War era, particularly military occupation of the South. My Master’s Thesis examined the relationship between the Freedmen’s Bureau and freedpeople on the South Carolina Sea Islands during Presidential Reconstruction. My other current research project focuses on Civil War memory in the literary works of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
