Clemson University BGSA

Historian - Marissa Davis

“Hello, all. My name is Marissa Davis. I am a second-year master's student in the History department here at Clemson, studying Southern History, African and African American experiences in the American South, Food History, and the Digital Humanities.

My current research questions the existence of a Southern Identity in comparison to the most everyday aspect of Southern Culture, our food.

I choose to be a part of BGSA as I believe in the need for community among black students here at Clemson.

I serve as the historian for BGSA and hope to capture its essence via documentation and our social media platforms.“
