Associate Professor Emeritus of Education, Rowan University

Recently retired from Rowan University’s College of Education (NJ) where she prepared numerous social studies teachers for the classroom, Martha Graham Viator was herself an elementary student when her school district in Louisiana desegregated in 1969. As an historian, Dr. Viator is drawn to the stories of desegregation; as a native of Louisiana, she is eager to research and write about the home she left in 1985 and to which she has now returned.

In addition to co-authoring William Frantz Public School: A Story of Race, Resistance, Resilience, and Recovery, her research interests include curriculum articles for history and English high school teachers as well as co-teaching.
