Dr. Black teaches a variety of courses in US History, Public History, Visual Culture, and the History of Capitalism. A specialist of the nineteenth-century, she is particularly interested in the history of Citizenship and Belonging in the United States, with a focus on the use of visual culture to aid in the social and political exclusion of particular groups. Much of her students’ work considers local history in the Wyoming Valley, and is featured on mulocalhistoryprojects.org and dhpmisericordia.org.
