I am particularly interested in four main areas:
Exploring the cultural processes and practices of early (pre 1920) United States-based globalization.
Examining in what ways ideas of femininity, masculinity, consumption, and "whiteness" played into the crucial shift from American nation-building to empire-building during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Understanding the connections between gender, class and the cultural formation of large American cities in the 19th century, particularly in regard to such critical but vexing distinctions as consumption/production, public/private, masculine/feminine.
Exploring feminist perspectives, theory, and methodology in relationship to matters of space and place.
