recently completed a three-year term on the Executive Board
of the Organization of American Historians. In July, 2004 spoke
at the Regional OAH meeting in Atlanta on a panel on the Reconstruction
History Initiative in Beaufort County. In November 2004 I appeared
on a panel at the Baltimore annual meeting of the National Council
of Social Studies on Teaching with Historic Places. In March 2005 I
will be the keynote speaker for a conference at Arizona State University
for a collaborative of representatives of Women’s Historical
Sites. My current research interests include the Reconstruction period
in Beaufort County, and I am writing a history of Fripp Island, South
Carolina.
