About
Dr. Krueger researches the intersections of cultural memory, public history, and the role of teaching and learning outside of traditional spaces of education. He focuses on the role of public pedagogy and museums in creating narratives about the spaces we inhabit. His current research examines the cultural significance of the works of Woody Guthrie and Mance Lipscomb and draws on the importance of social commentaries as a pedagogical tool for the classroom.
His research has previously been featured in The History Teacher, Multicultural Perspectives, the Journal of Educational Controversy, and several Society for American Baseball Research projects.
Dr. Krueger is the recipient of multiple awards, including the 2023 Mississippi Humanities Council Teacher of the Year for Delta State University, the 2021 Woody Guthrie Fellowship from the BMI Foundation, and the 2012 NHD Behring Teacher of the Year for the state of Texas. He also worked as a public-school teacher in Texas for 14 years.
