My Teaching

I currently teach regularly in the field of American history, convening A House Divided: The Making of Modern America (ARTS2150). This unit provides a comprehensive grounding in American history from the colonial era to the present, and focuses particularly on the peculiar 20th-century US histories of class, race, religion and global engagement. Over the course of the Term we explore how and why the world's oldest liberal democracy has become such a vital and fraught force in the contemporary world.
