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 gendered resistance to slavery and economic oppression, the unintended consequences of genetic screening, and the effects of globalization both historically and in the current economic recession. She has two book projects in progress: Global Labor Activism Where North Meets South and Gendered Resistance: Witnessing Women's Freedom Strategies through the Legacy of Margaret Garner.
