Sarah King is a modern US historian who studies the intersection of popular culture and political activism.

Sarah is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of South Carolina Aiken. She holds a PhD from Binghamton University, and has taught at Binghamton, as well as SUNY Geneseo, The College at Brockport, and Alfred University.
