Katherine G. MorrisseyPh.D., Associate Professor, Department of History
My research on the North American West focuses on the region's environmental, social, cultural, and intellectual history. Trained as an interdisciplinary scholar, I received my Ph.D. in American Studies from Yale University in 1990. My research perspectives influence my undergraduate teaching in courses on Arizona and the Southwest, U.S. Environmental History, 20th-century U.S. Western History, and early 20th-century U.S. History. Publications include Women in the West: A Guide to Manuscript Sources (New York: Garland, 1991) and "Miss Spokane and the Inland Northwest: Representations of Regions and Gender," Frontiers XXII (no. 3, 2001).
