Tracy EnzorGarden City, SCDoctoral Student and Tutor
My lifelong passion for history has led me to earn advanced degrees from Liberty University. I blend pedagogy, research, and service to teach students not only history and its importance but also to develop life-long skills: critical thinking, scholarly research, and developing a well-reasoned argument. As I have studied and researched every part of American and World history through diplomacy, information, military, and economics, I can demonstrate history’s complexity, depth, and conflict-solving, drawing and keeping students’ attention.
Additionally, I am proficient in online learning and developing courses for distant-learning students, making courses exciting as well as learning experiences. For instance, I developed a residential and online course for Ancient Rome at Liberty that developed expected course outcomes, utilized appropriate primary and secondary source readings, and applied creative assignments. My favorite assignment was a catacomb painting “treasure hunt” that uses a game-type quality to engage today’s students.
I have doctoral training in economic history, public history, and intellectual history. My written work covers topics such as the Economics of the West Virginia Mine Wars, several papers about Francis “Swamp Fox” Marion, American Christian History, Atlantic World Trade, Atlantic Revolutions, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Second Punic War, the Italian Slave Wars, the Yamasee War, and the warfare of the Catawba Native Americans. My work on Civil War Blockade Running in Murrells Inlet and Little River has been published, accepted at the Georgetown County Museum Archives, and cited by another historian.
Currently, I am completing my Ph. D dissertation, which focuses on the 1913 and 1921 Senate Committee on Education and Labor’s hearings into the West Virginia Coal Mine Wars. It examines the political nature of the investigations into a forgotten part of American history.
