Hello! My name is Jennifer Ferris, and I am a second-year teacher at First State Military Academy in Clayton, DE. At FSMA, I teach AP United States History, Honors and CP World History, and Choral Music.
I am a proud University of Delaware alumna, having graduated with an Honors B.A. with Distinction in History Education and Music, cum laude, from the University of Delaware in 2013. I then earned an M.A. in History from UD in 2015.
As a historian, I specialized in twentieth century American history. I would call myself a social-cultural historian, and am primarily interested in the intersections of gender, race, and class through the lenses of urban history, social history, and the history of consumerism/consumer culture. I also continue to conduct research in innovative education methods in social studies instruction, particularly in arts integration and material culture studies.
