About Me

Having earned my Ph.D. in history from the George Washington University, I am currently an assistant professor of history at Illinois State University. I focus on twentieth-century United States history, particularly intellectual, political, and educational history. My book, "Education and the Cold War: The Battle for the American School," was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2008. I am currently researching another book, "A War for the Soul Of America: A History of the Culture Wars, From the Sixties to the Present." I also write about Christopher Lasch, irascible historian and social critic, with an article forthcoming in the journal Rethinking History, titled, "Christopher Lasch: Critic of Liberalism, Historian of Its Discontents." I am co-editing a document reader with my colleague Touré Reed titled "Civil Rights and the Fight Against 'Social Disorganization:' Underclass Ideology and Liberal Activism and Policy, 1909-2008."
