- About Me
I am an Associate Professor at Iowa State University. I research the connections among war, U.S. society, citizenship, and gender. My book, Rough Draft: Cold War Military Manpower Policy, and the Origins of Vietnam Era Draft Resistance was published by Cornell University Press in 2019. I am currently working a book project on militarization and activism in the post-Vietnam War era.
I also coordinate Iowa State’s Social Studies education program. I have expertise in matters relating to education policy, history, and practice.
