- About Me
I’m a historian, professor, writer, and editor. My field is modern European history, with a focus on Jewish history and French colonial history. My principal research project focuses on the Jewish population of Algeria in the 20th century. I teach modern world history, including such topics as the history of the Islamic world, the history of sexuality, and the history of the Holocaust and genocide.
