Professor Greenberg has taught at Trinity for most of her career, with a few brief stints elsewhere (University of Helsinki, Columbia, Harvard) and finds a great deal of satisfaction being at a liberal arts college. Trinity offers excellent students, the resources to create interesting and rich courses, and colleagues from many other departments and programs with whom she works across disciplinary boundaries. Professor Greenberg teaches courses in African American history, the history of race in the U.S., and the interplay of race and ethnicity, as well as courses in recent US history. Professor Greenberg's research interests are equally varied, ranging from African American communities during the Great Depression to grass-roots organizing in the Civil Rights movement, and from race riots to Black-Jewish relations. Her current long-term projects include one on intermarriage and group identity and another on the invisible cultural assumptions of middle-class work places and universities.
