- About Me
I am a historian of education and a teacher educator. My primary areas of research focus on the history of education, the history of curriculum (curriculum foundations), and teaching and teacher education. Within the history of education, I examine the history of Roman Catholic schooling in the United States in the early to mid-twentieth century. I focus particularly on the intersections between Catholic education and public education reform movements. This includes the examination of policy issues such as standardization, accreditation, educational measurement and educational funding.
I also look at broader topics in education and schooling through analyzing the history of teaching and learning in the past at the classroom level. I am interested in how teachers made sense of their experiences at different points in time over the twentieth century and from different perspectives. How have teachers’ socio-cultural identities shaped their experiences? How does that in turn shape the curriculum and the experiences of their students?
