Charlotte Hansen Terry

Charlotte Hansen Terry serves as an Assistant Professor of U.S. History at Utah State University, where she contributes to the academic community through her research on transnational connections between the North American West and Pacific regions. Her work examines movement of people and ideas alongside complex relationships between religions, empires, and nations across these interconnected spaces.

Dr. Terry's research program centers on nineteenth and early twentieth-century dynamics where white and Pacific Islander Mormons negotiated racial, religious, familial, and national boundaries. Her current project analyzes how these groups redefined belonging within imperial and colonial frameworks, revealing critical insights about identity construction in transpacific contexts. This work bridges U.S. Western history with Pacific studies through interdisciplinary approaches examining religious networks and imperial entanglements.
