Work in Progress

Dr. Frederickson’s teaching interests include the history of race, class, and gender in the United States. Recent scholarship has focused on American women and travel abroad from 1830-1930, gendered resistance to slavery and economic oppression, and the effects of globalization on inner city communities in the United States. She has two book projects in progress. Looking South: Essays on Race, Gender, Class and Labor is scheduled for publication in 2010 in the Southern Dissent Series (University Press of Florida). A Place to Speak Our Minds: The Southern Summer School for Women Workers is also forthcoming in 2010 by the Indiana University Press.
