Dr. Carmack's research focuses on urban race relations in the immediate post World War II South, specifically the hiring of black police officers in southern cities in the late 1940s. In 2015, she was awarded the Virginia Social Sciences Association Henry Abraham Best Graduate Student Paper Award.
Prior to coming to CTU, Dr. Carmack taught at AB Tech Community College and held visiting professorships at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina and Presbyterian College in South Carolina.
