If you are a current or former student and would like to ask for a confidential letter of recommendation for graduate school or scholarships, please contact me via email as early as possible (ideally at least three weeks prior to the application deadline.)

I will be teaching one graduate course in 2021-22, HSTRY 595: Digital History (SPR).

I also conduct independent readings courses (HSTRY 600) as schedules allow. Here are links to some past graduate course syllabi:

I supervise graduate students at the MA and PhD level in 20th century US history, urban history, political history, and the history of capitalism. Full description of the fields I supervise and required/recommended preparation can be found here.

If you are interested in our program and in working with me in any capacity, please contact me via email early in your application process. While I am always happy to talk to candidates considering graduate school here or at other institutions, I am not currently admitting new students as a first-field advisor.
