Professional Bio

Lindsay Keiter is a historian of women, gender, and the family in early America who is interested in how the law and the development of capitalism shaped and were shaped by evolving gender and family ideals. She earned bachelor's degrees with interdisciplinary honors in history and women's studies from Penn State before completing her master's and doctoral studies at the College of William & Mary in Virginia.

At Penn State Altoona, Keiter teaches courses on early American history as well as on women, sexuality, and the family from pre-contact through the present. She regularly seeks out undergraduate students to participate in research with her, where they gain valuable experience deciphering and interpreting 18th- and 19th-century documents.
