Research Interests

Rachel has research interests in early Tallahassee history, the ways that textual interpretations shift over time as new audiences reinterpret old media, and the history of mythology - specifically the myths of mystery cults and festivals - within ancient Greece.  Through her internship with Theater With a Mission's Dr. Benjamin Gunter and Ms. Idy Codington, Rachel spent the Summer of 2023 research into a series of Yellow Fever Epidemics in early Tallahassee, drawing connections between the reactions of people at the time and the reactions modern Tallahassee residents had during the COVID pandemic.
