Professor
Professor Victoria E. Bynum's historical research focuses on Southern dissenters: women who did not behave like "ladies"; whites who crossed the color line socially and sexually; African Americans who did not follow Jim Crow rules; and families that opposed secession and the Confederacy. Her works include UNRULY WOMEN (Chapel Hill, 1992), THE FREE STATE OF JONES (Chapel Hill, 2001), and THE LONG SHADOW OF THE CIVIL WAR: SOUTHERN DISSENT AND ITS LEGACIES (Chapel Hill, 2010).
