Past Freeman Professors

The Douglas Southall Freeman Professorship was established in honor of the noted biographer and journalist by his family and allows the department to bring a distinguished visiting historian to the campus annually. The Freeman Professor teaches one course and either delivers a series of public lectures or organizes an historical conference. Learn more about this year's Freeman Professor.
