The event is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
“We are pleased to have a scholar of the Constitution with us for this event. Dr. Pitts’ historical insights from the nation’s tragic Civil War are bound to shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of our founding document,” said Holy Cross College history department chair Angel Cortes, Ph.D.

Willard Hurst Summer Institute in Legal History at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
Professor Pitts’ work has been published in the Journal of Women’s History. She is also the recipient of a Library Scholars Grant, which she is using to study the U.S. military’s regulation of prostitution in Civil War era Nashville, Tennessee. She regularly teaches courses in U.S. constitutional history, the history of sexual regulation, race and the law, and American legal culture.
