Education: B.A., UC Berkeley; M.A., Ph.D., UC Irvine
My family and friends find it ironic that I ended up living in Canton, NY after having spent most of my life sunny southern California. I grew up in Irvine, CA, where I lived with my parents, my two sisters, and dog we called Golda Meir Regosin.
I am a product of the University of California. I earned my B.A. at Berkeley, and my M.A. and Ph.D. at Irvine. In both my undergraduate and graduate experiences, interaction with dynamic professors in American history and African American literature sparked my interest in my primary research field, African American history. My area of emphasis has been African American families in the transition from slavery to freedom. My other research interests include American race relations and American Women's history.
I came to the department of history at St. Lawrence University in the fall of 1997. I teach courses in American history, African American history, and American Women's history. I have also participated in SLU's First Year Program with a colleague from the English department in a college whose theme is "American Identities." With its strong teaching mission, SLU is the perfect place for me. I enjoy having the opportunity to interact with my students both in class and in a variety of ways outside the classroom.
