About
I recently completed my Ph.D. in the Department of History at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in 20th century U.S. urban history. My interests range from ethnic and race relations to Jewish studies to the history of how the public health and social welfare infrastructure of American cities was built over the past 100 years. Currently I am revising my
dissertation into a book manuscript and serving as co-editor of
The Metropole, the blog of the Urban History Association.
