Our Extra Interview today is Professor Tiya Miles.

Tiya is Professor of History and Director of The Charles Warren Centre for American History at Harvard University, and Radcliffe Alumnae Professor at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.

She is also an author; her books include ‘Tales from the Haunted South: Dark Tourism and Memories of Slavery from the Civil War Era’ and the novel ‘The Cherokee Rose, A novel of Gardens and Ghosts’.

Tiya shares her experiences of stumbling into the world of Ghost Tours in the Southern United States, and how the stories we choose to tell, and how we tell them, can reshape the way we experience history as well as the present day.
