Her fields include American intellectual history, the transatlantic slave trade and African-American history, women’s history, Native-American history, American religious history, labor history, the history of American medicine, cultural and critical theory, critical race and feminist theory, and the histories of memory and narratives on the body. Dedicated to the liberal arts, Stollman spent over twenty years teaching and mentoring undergraduate and graduate students while conducting research in Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, North Carolina, and Colorado. After being appointed Academic Director at the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation at the University of Mississippi five years ago, she has developed and presented anti-bias training, conducted crisis management, and facilitated dialogues on inequity in the Deep South and across the United States in high schools and higher education, hospitals, law enforcement agencies, juvenile justice systems, professional organizations, corporations, and non-profit organizations dedicated to health and wellness, and social and economic justice.
