Biography:
Professor Janney received her Ph.D. in
2005 from the University of Virginia. She is the author of essays about
the Lost Cause that have appeared recently in Crucible of the Civil War:
Virginia from Secession to Commemoration and Virginia’s Civil War, as
well as an article on the memory of John Brown’s raid that appeared in
Civil War History magazine. Her first book, Burying the Dead but Not the
Past: Ladies’ Memorial Associations and the Lost Cause was recently
published by the University of North Carolina Press. Her second book
will examine how the Civil War has been remembered between 1865 and
1920. She is particularly interested in how race, gender, and combat
experience shaped the ways in which Americans thought about the war and
its legacy.
