My research focuses on gender, race, power, popular culture, and crime in the twentieth-century United States. I am the author of Gendered Politics in the Modern South (2012), Amazons in America (2019), and Why Any Woman: Southern Feminist Popular Culture at the Millennium (forthcoming from UGA Press, 2023). I am currently conducting research for a book on popular resistance to white supremacy on the mid-century Carolina coast, tentatively entitled Hell Hath Overtook You: Music, Sex, Race, and Violence on the Grand Strand.
I teach courses on the American South, gender politics in the United States, pop culture and protest, and the history of mass incarceration. Before coming to QUB in 2017, I taught History at Texas Tech University, Coastal Carolina University, and Loyola University-New Orleans.
