Ms. Jamie A. Romine, Assistant Lecturer
Biography
Jamie A. Romine, Ph.D., is an Assistant Lecturer in her third year of teaching at Idaho State University. She completed her doctoral degree in May, 2007 in theatre, emphasis theatre for youth, from Arizona State University. Her dissertation entitled Where the West Stays Young: Child Re-enactors in Contemporary Wild West Shows explores the role child re-enactors have in the performance of American exceptionalism in Wild West re-enactment troupes. Her research involves continuing her research in the representation of childhood, as performed and instituted within historical re-enactment groups of the Old West, as a construction that embodies both the past and present. Her other projects include interrogating adolescent identity construction, ethnodrama, Maud Gonne's use of theatre to promote and instill nationalism in Dublin youth, and research into the use of American pageantry as a teaching tool at the turn of the twentieth century. This year she is excited to be directing the first show of the season, The Country Wife.
