I teach US history at Eastern Michigan University. I hold a Ph.D. in the history of Science, Technology, Environment and Medicine from Case Western Reserve University (2001) with a sub-field in economics. I wrote a dissertation on Progressive Era educational reforms leading into the founding of Museums of Science and Industry in the 1920s. I am also degreed in Philosophy having written a thesis on Friedrich Nietzsche's aesthetics. My research interest include the ideological and intellectual history of technology, history of engineering, history of US railroads, interurbans, the Progressive Era, and Museums of Science and Technology.
I manage and oversee the US history textbook project (a wiki!) at EMU.
