Michael T. Bertrand

As someone who engages the past on a daily basis, my teaching and scholarship reflect a long-standing commitment to understanding the interrelationships between race, class, gender, and generation as they have existed and evolved in the American South.

I especially am interested in comprehending the complex connections and dynamics between popular music, popular culture, memory, and social change from the late nineteenth through the 20th and into the 21st century.

I am the author of "Race, Rock, and Elvis."
