2018 Graduate Achievement Award recipient
Andrew conducted research for the University of Mississippi Slavery Research Group and has presented his findings at four academic conferences. He shares this research with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors through campus slavery tours that explain the university’s connections to the institution of slavery. During these tours, Andrew discusses the lives and work of the enslaved on campus; the slaveholdings of university students, faculty, and alumni; the proslavery ideology that faculty promoted; and how the legacy of slavery continued to shape the university’s history following the end of the Civil War.
Andrew’s dissertation research, focusing on the post-World War II resettlement of displaced Europeans to the US, is funded in part by a research grant from the Harry S. Truman Library Institute.
