Associate Professor and Chair of the History and Political Science Department
I'm an historian of the Progressive Era United States with an emphasis on social reform and social work in New York City. My dissertation and subsequent articles focused on the anti-white slavery (anti-trafficking) activism of the Travelers' Aid movement in New York and secondarily in San Francisco, San Diego, and London. I've also written about the aftermath of the Titanic's sinking in 1912, specifically the rescue and care of survivors. I have published four articles related to Titanic and New York City.
For my Master's Degree in 2003, I wrote about students at the renowned Bauhaus School of Art, Design, and Architecture in Weimar Germany. My thesis remains one of the only studies devoted to the social history of Bauhaus students. The Bauhaus celebrated its centennial in 2019.
