Biography
I research and teach modern American history, with a special focus on its literary, cultural, intellectual, and political dimensions. I am particularly fascinated by how these different fields have influenced one another, and in my research and teaching I try to convey a sense of totality—a comprehensive understanding of how themes, concepts, images, and norms traversed from one field to another in a particular epoch. This interdisciplinary approach has something to do with my preoccupation with theory and methodology of history writing, which I regularly teach at the graduate level.
