Faith Stackhouse Daly is a historian of late nineteenth and early twentieth century United States, specializing in the Gilded Age through Prohibition, with a focus on women and protest movements in the American West. She looks at ways in which conflicts over gender, immigration, national identity, and the politics of space intersect on the moving frontier in the fight over alcohol policies from the Early Republic to the Repeal of Prohibition. Building off of her award-winning 2021 MA Thesis, "Crushing Prohibition: Northern California's Women, Wine, and Repeal," Faith's current research investigates the role of women, particularly those connected Napa and Sonoma County wineries, in efforts first to nullify and then to repeal National Prohibition.
A National Board Certified teacher, Faith comes to UC Berkeley with over 20 years of experience teaching high school History and Social Sciences, as well as teaching pre-service teachers at San Jose State University. In addition to research, Faith continues to work on outreach to K-12 educators, particularly through her work with National History Day and the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History. She consults on curriculum development, research skills, and integration of the history of women and traditionally mariginalized populations into secondary social studies classrooms.
