Master's Student Katherine Rohrer is an associate professor of history at the University of North Georgia. Her research and teaching interests pertain to the 19th-century South, specifically the intersection of gender, religion, and education. She is the author of Daughters of Divinity: Evangelical Protestant Christianity and the Making of a New Southern Woman, 1830-1930 (LSU Press, 2025). More recently, Katherine has developed an interest in higher education scholarship. Her article, co-authored with Matthew J. Smith, "Classwork and the Corps: The Symbiotic Relationship Between Curricular & Co-Curricular Learning for Military Cadets Majoring in History" is forthcoming in Teaching and Learning Inquiry. A life-long learner (and perhaps a glutton for punishment!), Katherine is pursuing her fifth degree from UGA: an M.Ed. in higher education. She looks forward to coursework at the Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education that exposes her to research methods, higher education policy, faculty affairs, and maybe even a little (more) history.
