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.)

While I am not teaching graduate courses in 2022-23, I can offer independent readings courses (HSTRY 600) in order to fulfill field requirements, if schedules allow.

Here are links to some past graduate course syllabi, with reading lists that may be useful for field preparation here or at other MA/PhD programs:

• HSTAA 590: History of Capitalism
• HSTAA 590: American Political and Policy History
• HSTAA 508: American Urban History
• HSTAA 590: Welfare States
• HSTAA 522: Readings in American History, late 19th century to the present

NOTE TO GRADUATE APPLICANTS: 

I am not currently admitting new MA/PhD students as a first-field advisor. I am happy to serve on committees of admitted UW students in History and related disciplines with interests related to my areas of expertise. Full description of the fields I supervise can be found here. If you are interested in the UW graduate program and in working with me in any capacity, please contact me via email early in your application process.
