Dr. Greer’s interests include gender and religion in the early American republic,
and she completed a dissertation entitled “Sites of Spectacle and Sites of Sacrifice:
The Female Itinerant Preacher’s Body in the Early American Republic.” This book project
combines body studies with religious history with the intersection of gender and race
and is centered mostly on New England and the Mid-Atlantic in the early nineteenth-century
United States. She is dedicated to public history and digital humanities, with projects
including a community-engaged museum exhibit at Old Town Alabama in Montgomery, Alabama;
multiple mapping projects, and time as a project manager at the Roy Rosenzweig Center
for History and New Media. She further emphasizes public-facing history writing, including
work at the Encyclopedia of Alabama out of Auburn University and as an affiliate editor
for the National Council of Public History’s blog History@Work. She has degrees from
Louisiana State University, Auburn University, and George Mason University.
