  I worked with Terry H. Anderson on my dissertation titled

  \"The Right Response: The Reaction of the Silent Majority to the Social Movements of the Sixties.\" The decade is generally taught from a liberal perspective that focuses on the protests

  because historians like to talk about change. But what about the rest of the American population that was not protesting? How did they feel about the movements

  and what did they do about them? I analyzed the different responses to the civil rights movement

  the spread of liberalism on campuses through the New Left

  antiwar protests

  race riots

  counterculture

  and feminism. Moderates and conservatives used other methods like counter-protests and letter-writing to their elected politicians to get their voice heard

  since the media focused on the more visible protests. The reaction to the increasing radicalism of the protesters led to a new conservatism that Americans willingly embraced.

  SAGE is a national graduate student coalition comprised of public universities

  members of both the Association of American Universities (AAU) and the American Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU). SAGE serves as an advocate and a network for graduate students at public institutions aiming to empower graduate students to meet the challenges of graduate education and to form partnerships across universities. I represented Texas A&M to lobby U.S. Senators and Congressmen for more favorable conditions for graduate students
