 Research Interests:

My work explores civil-military relations, trauma and memory, and the social and cultural consequences of armed conflict on the American public.  My dissertation is a cultural history of the U.S. Marine Corps in the Early Cold War.  I am also interested in the history of political parties in America and their changing positions on national security and the military.
