Cheryl Greenberg

Professor Greenberg has taught at Trinity for most of her career, with a few brief stints elsewhere (University of Helsinki, Columbia, Harvard) and finds a great deal of satisfaction being at a liberal arts college. Trinity offers excellent students, the resources to create interesting and rich courses, and colleagues from many other departments and programs with whom she works across disciplinary boundaries. Professor Greenberg teaches courses in African American history, the history of race in the U.S., and the interplay of race and ethnicity, as well as courses in the 20th century more broadly. Professor Greenberg's research interests are equally varied, ranging from Harlem during the Great Depression to the Civil Rights movement, and from race riots to Black-Jewish relations. She is currently working on a monograph on African Americans during the depression, and a project on intermarriage and group identity is in the works.
