After a gap of fifteen years, I'm delighted to rejoin Colgate's History department as the O'Connor Visiting Professor for Fall 2021. My regular academic home is Saint Mary's College of California, where I am the Brother James Ash Professor of American history. My teaching and research interests have varied over the years, and I'm grateful for the freedom to keep exploring new places and projects. Starting out as an undergraduate in European history, I've worked on the transatlantic utopian tradition and on comparative approaches to nineteenth-century US history, and in recent years I've added the Civil War to my teaching and publication portfolio. At Colgate I'm teaching the History Workshop (199) and a 200-level course on the Civil War and Reconstruction.
