Tammy L. Brown

Tammy L. Brown is a writer, educator, artist, and dreamer. She earned her B.A. in international history, magna cum laude, from Harvard University and her Ph.D. in American history and African diaspora studies from Princeton University. As associate professor of history and global and intercultural studies at Miami University of Ohio, Tammy’s teaching, writing, and service to her community are connected through her interest in art, technology, and biography as a methodological approach. Born and raised in Cincinnati, OH, Tammy comes from a family of educators, artists, and entrepreneurs who value life-long learning, spirituality, and public engagement. Her mother is a teacher who writes creative non-fiction and her father is a reverend and self-taught carpenter. Tammy says, “Years of watching my father’s work pushed me to think of what I could create with my own hands.” She builds her scholarly and creative work upon this foundation.
