Congrats to the students in Dr. Gallman’s class for these creative projects!
Historians who study gender in 19th Century America turn to a wealth of primary sources. Students in AMH3931 devoted the fall semester to examining celebrated trials (6 murders and 1 divorce). Each group prepared a digital project and each student wrote an analytic paper.
Here are their projects:
