Dr. Elesha J. Coffman

Education

M.A. in History, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs

B.A. in English (Professional and Technical Writing) with a minor in English (Creative Writing), University of Colorado, Colorado Springs

Academic Interests

I am interested in modern American politics and religion, the origins and intersections of political and religious identity in the face of modern political division and realignment, and the liberal/conservative divide in American religion, both in how it is experienced by individuals and how it has been written about by academics.

Why I Chose Baylor

I chose Baylor for its commitment to a Christian identity in the world of higher education and for the History department’s growing focus on religious history.
