S6E07 Le'Trice Donaldson - Auburn University

Another good one, recorded on Halloween even! Today's guest is the upbeat and energetic Le'Trice Donaldson of Auburn University. Le'Trice is a scholar of the Black soldier experience and founder of the Society for Black Military Studies. With a BA and MA from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and a PhD from the University of Memphis, Le'Trice did the year-to-year sojourn of many new academics before landing at Auburn University. Her first book, Duty Beyond the Battlefield: African American Soldiers Fight for Racial Uplift, Citizenship, and Manhood, 1870-1920, was published by Southern Illinois University Press, and she's working on a biography of Eurene Bullard, the first African American fighter pilot. She's got a new series with the University of Virginia Press called The Black Soldier in War and Society. She found a love for history as a young student as an archive nerd and hasn't looked back.

Join us for a fun chat - we'll talk moving beyond parental expectations, working in archives, starting a professional scholarly organization and journal from scratch, working at K-Mart, Superman, Whitney Houston, and more - enjoy!
