Kallie Kosc

I am a historian of Native America and Early America who specializes in women's history, families, and education. My first book, The Education of Mary Peters: Stockbridge Mohican Women and Community Survivance in Early America, explores Indigenous education and women's leadership in early America through the story of three generations of Stockbridge Mohican women. The book is part of The University of Nebraska Press's award-winning Indigenous Education series and will be released on on May 1, 2027. Pre-order is available here: https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/nebraska/9781496239501/the-education-of-mary-peters/ 

My research has taken me from small-town archives in rural New York to major institutions like the New York Historical Society, National Archives, and the Massachusetts Historical Society, among others. I have a deep appreciation for the archivists and people in various communities I've met along the way who have shown interest in my project and taught me much about their past and present. I especially want to thank the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Historic Preservation and Cultural Affairs departments for their assistance and collaboration over the years.

I teach and mentor students at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Beyond developing student expertise in critical thinking, writing, and research, I am equally committed to helping instructors and students navigate teaching and learning in the age of AI. It is critical for historians and professionals of all kinds to leverage new technologies, but I emphasize the need for a robust grounding in subject matter expertise and the development of human-centered competencies so that AI continues to be a powerful tool rather than a crutch for emerging professionals graduating from OSU.
