Welcome!
I am a Lecturer in the American Studies Program at UC Berkeley. As a historian and teacher, my work centers on the social and cultural history of the nineteenth-century United States, and on the way we teach (and the way students learn) about the past. My first book, Whiskerology, is under contract with Harvard University Press.
I am the current Executive Director of the Western Association of Women Historians, and a co-founder of The Teaching History Conference, a community of practice and biennial conference for history educators from across the K–16 continuum.
