During the summers of 2003, 2005 and 2007 she co-taught an off campus course: Social Stratification in the American South. This course takes 20 Wake Forest students on a 14-day trip/course through the deep south. The course was designed around important civil rights sites (Atlanta, Birmingham, Selma, Philadelphia, MS) and focused on contemporary issues of race, class, and gender inequality in the deep south. Professor Hattery received the “Innovation in Teaching Award” from the Teaching and Learning Center in 2007 for this course.
