About Me

I am an historian with a PhD in History from Binghamton University (SUNY). My areas of expertise include women’s history, modern American history, and labor history. I am adjunct assistant professor at Madonna University in Livonia, Michigan, and the Thesis and Dissertation Coordinator at Oakland University. I am currently developing a book manuscript with the University of Illinois Press. The project studies the creation, pinnacle, and descent of the UAW’s women’s auxiliaries in the 1930s and 1940s.  I am also the co-Executive Editor and co-Founder of Clio and the Contemporary (www.clioandthecontemporary.com), a website dedicated to exploring historical issues with contemporary relevance, historical perspectives on current events, and ideas about contemporary teaching, academia, and alt-academia.
