I am a historian in training at Missouri State University, where I am studying under Dr. Thomas Dicke. My thesis is an examination of the desegregation process of Springfield (MO) High School. In addition to education and African American history, I also have training in the historiography of inter-war Europe and American religious and social history. Currently, my main area of interest lies in the social history of the American West. Outside of history, I have extensive experience in records management, especially private and confidential material, as well as metadata standards and digitization processes.Tumblr (3.0; @mikefrizzell)http://mikefrizzell.com/
