Dr. Billy Wayson holds a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia, studied Economics at George Washington University, and at the University of Iowa earned a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy (magna cum laude) and election to Phi Beta Kappa. His research interests are cultural, social, economic, and political history from mid-eighteenth century to the late antebellum period with specific curiosity for the subjects of family, gender, household, and community.
Dr. Wayson is deeply engaged in a long-term project to examine Thomas Jefferson's financial affairs in the context of political, social, and cultural forces affecting economic activities and agricultural technology at the turn of the nineteenth century. The Founder's accounts are being transcribed into an electronic accounting format for ease of analysis and for correlation with over 1,000 letters collected by late 2011 on the topic of finances. The first paper in this project, "'Solid, Substantial and Patriotic': That Business of William Short and Thomas Jefferson", was presented in March 2011 at the Virginia Forum, Washington and Lee University; in May at the International Center for Jefferson Studies; and as part of a panel on C-Span in the summer of 2011.
