I am a professor of History and American Studies at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia. My teaching and research focus on several topics in American history, including race and ethnicity, immigration, popular culture, the American West, foodways, and Virginia.
Check out my new book, Proximity to Power: Rethinking Race and Place in Alexandria, Virginia, which will be published with the University of North Carolina Press later this year. For more information, click here.
