Tyler Bailey is a second year MA history student. His interests are the study of historical memory and early 20^th century American history. During his undergrad he explored the memory – both past and present – of the Spanish Civil War as his BA thesis. He is currently a teaching assistant and a curator intern for the Georgia Southern University Museum. His MA project is a two part exhibit that will be featured in the IAB and the GSU Museum. The first will explore the origins and cultural diffusion of negative stereotypes of African-Americans from 1850-1950, and the second will focus on Tin Pan Alley’s creation of an idyllic image of the South that largely ignored the realities of the time. He hopes that these exhibits will challenge viewer’s ideas of American culture and history and will lead to more work that helps, educates, and inspires his surrounding community.
