- About Me
I am an award-winning historian with a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley specializing in the history of childhood, generational experience, and American social history. I am most active with the Western Association of Women Historians (WAWH), where I previously served as President and currently manage the organization’s website.
My research and publications have focused on the experiences of children from Allied countries interned in the Philippines during World War II, child agricultural labor in the twentieth century, and youth activism in the United Farm Workers movement during the 1960s and 1970s.
I am the creator and host of The Clio Dialogues, a podcast that brings experts into conversation to connect past and present, offering context and insight into contemporary life. The Clio Dialogues is particularly interested in speaking with historians and scholars who have recently published books or are producing original research that reframes established narratives and brings new context to contemporary questions.
