Notes to Self

I teach US history at Eastern Michigan University. I hold a Ph.D. in the history of science, technology, environment and medicine (STEM) from Case Western Reserve University (2001) with a sub-field in economics. I wrote a dissertation on Progressive Era engineering ideology in educational reforms. I am also degreed in Philosophy having written a thesis on Friedrich Nietzsche's aesthetics. My research interests include the ideological and intellectual history of engineering, history of US railroads, interurbans, the Progressive Era, Public History, and Museums of Science and Technology.

EDiT is the Digital History Textbook at Eastern Michigan University. It runs the Mediawiki software, and I manage and oversee the the project. Our external linking policy is to link all biography (and other topics when appropriate) exclusively to the Citizendium.
