- About Me
I am a historian of 19th and 20th century social and cultural U.S. history with a PhD from the University of California, Berkeley. My research interests have centered primarily on two topics:
- the World War II internment of Allied civilians at the Santo Tomas Internment Camp in the Philippines
- the history of child labor in US agriculture in the 20th century, especially with regard to the Fair Labor Standards Act
