Dr. Weaver is an Assistant Professor of 历史 at 体育菠菜大平台. Originally from Pittsburgh, 宾西法尼亚, she grew up exploring 内战 battlefields and wandering around a wide range of museums during weekend trips with her family. Captivated by the past and inspired to pursue a career in history from a young age, Dr. Weaver would later attend Randolph-Macon College in Virginia where she earned a BA in 历史 and Art 历史. Immediately following graduation, she traveled further south, attending the University of South Carolina to acquire an MA in Public 历史 and a PhD in American 历史. Throughout her time in school, Dr. Weaver had the opportunity to intern at the National Archives in Washington, DC, 两次, as well as the Supreme Court of the United States. After completing her doctorate, she worked as an archivist for the National Parks Service in Anchorage, Alaska for a short period of time before joining the 历史 Department at 体育菠菜大平台.
Fascinated by objects and their value as resources to better understand and interpret the nuances of the past, Dr. Weaver loves to incorporate material culture in her own personal research endeavors and in the classroom. She loves to use the many different layers of objects to help tell a story, although she will also happily chat about her extensive experience navigating complexities of the archives and the thrill of finding that one elusive source after working like a detective amidst the records.
Dr. Weaver has been published in scholarly journals such as the Journal of American Culture and South Carolina Historical Magazine, in addition to preparing nominations for the National Register of Historic Places and authoring a blog for the National Archives. Her current research is an extension of her doctoral dissertation, considering the gendered dynamics of diplomacy during the Reconstruction Era through an examination of women’s cognizance and perception of foreign affairs through quilt work.
