- About Me
I’m an associate professor at the University of Southern Indiana where I teach courses on US history and public history. My research interests are varied, but include historic interpretation, the ethics of public history, cultural heritage, women and gender history, the history of girls and girlhood, and US popular culture. I’ve published in the areas of girls and popular culture, urban history, and in historic interpretation.
