Education

My interest is urban development and culture. I cultivate innovative modes of urban exploration through teaching, scholarship, and community engagement. Whether urban imagery in popular culture or public welfare concerns linked to urban spaces, my research and writing highlight tension created by hopes and fears linked to the city. My research and writing on U.S. history and culture have appeared in the Florida Historical Quarterly, Pennsylvania History: A Journal of Mid-Atlantic Studies, Specs: A Journal of Arts & Culture, Studies in American Culture, Georgia Historical Quarterly, Journal of Urban History, and Ohio Valley History.
