Associate Professor
Bio
Andrew P. Haley studies class, culture and cuisine in the United States from the Gilded Age through the 1950s. Andrew is the Director of University Forum, Southern Miss' forty-year old speaker series, and the Moorman Distinguished Professor of the Humanities 2019-2021. He has a doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh.
His first book, Turning the Tables: American Restaurant Culture and the Rise of the Middle Class, 1880-1920, argues that changes in restaurant culture demonstrate the growing influence of urban middle-class consumers. It is the winner of the 2012 James Beard Award for Scholarship and Reference. Recently, Andrew has been working with McCain Library and Archives on a project documenting community life through local cookbooks. That project is the source of his next book.
Andrew loves to teach. He is the recipient of a 2001 K. Patricia Cross Award from the American Association for Higher Education and a 2012 Mississippi Humanities Council Teaching Award.
