Research
Interests
My
research has centered around three themes: the history of the United
States in the world, intellectual history, and the history of
capitalism. In addition, I am
interested in the methodological aspects of teaching and writing
history. My dissertation is provisionally entitled "Community at Home
and Abroad: The
United States and Community Development, 1940-1970."
