Warwick’s presents Sarah Gold McBride as she discusses and signs her new book, Whiskerology: The Culture of Hair in Nineteenth-Century America, in conversation with Rebecca Jo Plant. Sarah Gold McBride is a historian who specializes in the social and cultural history of the nineteenth-century United States. Her research and teaching focus on the lives of ordinary Americans: the communities they lived in, the books and newspapers they read, the plays and museums and freak shows they attended, the art and science they created, and the information they found meaningful as they tried to understand race, gender, and national identity. A graduate of UC Berkeley’s Department of History, Dr. Gold McBride has been a member of the American Studies faculty since 2019. She has received several awards from the university in recognition of her teaching and mentorship, including the Faculty Award for Outstanding Mentorship of Graduate Student Instructors in 2019, a Lecturer Teaching Fellowship in 2020, and the American Cultures Excellence in Teaching Award in 2023. Dr. Gold McBride also serves on the board of the Western Association of Women Historians.
