A Final Found@TU Podcast: Exploring Race, Gender, and the Civil War with Dr. Kristen T. Oertel

On this final installment in our Found@TU podcast series, which has explored all manner of faculty research being done here at the University, we are pleased to visit with Dr. Kristen Tegtmeier Oertel, the Mary Frances Barnard Professor of 19th Century American History. She offers lots of wonderful stories and interesting asides (including the time she stumbled across a long-lost, handwritten note signed by Lincoln!) regarding her Civil War-era research on slavery and abolition, especially as they both pertain to race and gender. The podcast can be accessed here.

Scott Gregory started working at Public Radio Tulsa in 2006; he started listening to public radio circa 1980, when he and NPR both marked their tenth birthdays (although only one of them commemorated the occasion with a party at Skate World). Scott became this radio station's Operations Director in the summer of 2023; he also hosts and programs All This Jazz, which airs every Saturday night on Public Radio 89.5-1 from 9pm till midnight.
