Lindsay Privette’s teaching and research interests focus on the American Civil War with an emphasis on soldier’s health and medical care. Her dissertation, which she is currently revising into a manuscript, examines the ways in which medial care influenced the fighting effectiveness of Civil War armies and shaped the relationships between line officers, medical personnel, and common soldiers. Dr. Privette earned her BA from Baylor University and her MA and PhD from the University of Alabama. She joined the faculty of Anderson University in the fall of 2018 where she teaches courses on the American Revolution, Civil War, military history, memory studies, and popular culture.
