About Me

I am an Associate Professor at Angelo State University. I received my PhD in U.S. history from the University of Wisconsin in 2012. I am a public and digital historian and a scholar of the 20th century. My research interests focus on the intersection of the cultural and political history of the United States, particularly during the twentieth century. My manuscript, In the Crucible of Violence: The Remaking of American Political Culture in the 1960s and 1970s, examines popular and political responses to violence during the 1960s and 1970s on both the local and national levels. I’m also the co-director of War Stories: West Texans and the Experience of War from World War I to the Present, which is an National Endowment for the Humanities-funded project at Angelo State University. The project is working to preserve and present the experiences of military veterans and their families. I’m also a host for the New Books in History podcast.
