Biography
Jessica J. Borsellino is an assistant professor and a mother of two from Augusta, Ga. She joined the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ faculty in 2025 and teaches United States History since 1877. She is also developing new courses in the history of medicine and Native American history.
Borsellino's research concerns health and healing in 19th and 20th century Native America. Her book project, To Take Care of My People: Men, Women, and Medicine in Kiowa Communities, 1867-1940, is a study of healing practices in use among Kiowas, members of a Great Plains tribal nation, during their first 80 years of reservation life.
