My name is Joy Pierce and I’m a Sophomore History major here at Virginia Tech. After graduation, I plan to attend graduate school to ultimately pursue a career in Public History, specifically as a museum curator. My favorite historical periods to study are the European Renaissance and WWII-era Europe. Some of the things that I hope to get out of this class include: (1) gaining a deeper understanding of the social ramifications of WWII including the context in which the Cold War comes about and (2) honing my skills as a historian, particularly those involving technology. I’m looking forward to a productive semester and getting to know you all better!
