Dr. Jeffrey Jackson, associate professor history, has published an opinion piece on The Hill website about recent Charlottesville, VA, events. It is titled Today’s Social Unrest Rooted In Two Histories of America.” The Hill reports on the business of Washington D.C. and is a source for policy and political coverage.
As a cultural historian, Jackson tries to understand the ways in which people in the past make meaning out of the events, values, symbols, and practices that they experienced on a daily basis.
