My Biography

Dr. Neville received the PhD from the University of Florida. She taught at Emory University for eight years before moving to Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, where she held the Elizabeth Root Paden Chair until her retirement. She is the author of Kinship and Pilgrimage: Rituals of Reunion in American Protestant Culture and The Mother Town: Civic Ritual, Symbol, and Experience in the Borders of Scotland, both published by Oxford University Press, and of numerous articles in professional journals and collections.

While we remain deeply saddened by the devastating impact of the recent hurricanes in Florida and wish for a swift recovery, the Tampa Convention Center and the hotels hosting our Annual Meeting in Tampa from November 20-23 have confirmed they are "open and fully operational." We look forward to supporting the residents of Tampa and seeing you there, either in person or virtually. View a list of organizations accepting donations in Florida.
