Trevor Egerton is a fourth-year PhD student in the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s History Department. His research focuses on the intersections between race and outdoor recreation in the twentieth century American South. Particularly, he uses a set of forty Black-only state parks scattered throughout the region to better understand the connections between the development of outdoor recreation and the Black Freedom Struggle between 1935 and 1965. Trevor is originally from Austin, Texas and graduated in 2020 with a B.A. in History and minor in Biochemistry and Cell Biology from Rice University in Houston. If he is not completing reading or writing for class, you can find him hiking or backpacking in the mountains of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥.
