Through this work, she explores themes of gender, authority, power, and family agency within rigid institutional systems. Her teaching reflects these interests, with courses such as Womanhood in America (HTY 332), Modern US History (HTY 104), and Introduction to Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGS 101).
Rebecca White holds a PhD in History from the University of Maine (2015) and an MA in European History from the University of Pittsburgh (2002). Her academic journey has positioned her at the intersection of gender, policy, and historical analysis, contributing to critical understandings of how women and families have navigated state structures to assert independence.
