Don Guillory

Dr. Don Guillory is a Visiting Instructional Assistant Professor in the Department of History at the University of Mississippi, housed within the College of Liberal Arts. He contributes to both the History and African American Studies undergraduate programs, teaching foundational courses in U.S. history and the African American experience.

His research centers on 19th- and 20th-century U.S. history, with specialized focus on race, gender, and the formation of African American communities in urban settings. His doctoral work explored how Black identity and space were constructed in Phoenix, Arizona, from 1890 to 1970, framed by systemic exclusion and resilience.

Dr. Guillory earned his B.A. and M.A. in History from Georgia Southern University, an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction from Arizona State University, and an MLS in Liberal Studies from the same institution. His interdisciplinary training supports his pedagogical and scholarly approach to American social history.

His academic trajectory reflects a commitment to inclusive historical narratives and undergraduate education.
