Education
I received my B.A. from Barnard College and my M.A. and Ph.D. from Yale University.
Research and Teaching Interests
My research centers on modern American social and cultural history, and I am especially interested in the history of U.S. imperialism, political economy, and the intersections of capitalism and culture. In the fall of 2011, I will teach a University Seminar on the theme "U.S. in the World" and a course on the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
Profile
Currently, I am revising my dissertation, American Imperial Pastoral: United States Designs on the Philippines, into a book manuscript. The project examines imperial ideology through a study of the built environment, more specifically, a Daniel Burnham-designed hill station in the colonial Philippines.
