Description

Olivia Black ’25, History major

Faculty mentor: Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, History and Classics

My research focuses on how certain traits such as queerness in historical cowboys were erased from American popular culture yet found in journals of real cowboys and influential Western literature. This erasure contributed to an inaccurate view of American cowboys in order for the media about cowboys to be successful.
