I come to Bucknell this year after serving as a Presidential Teaching Fellow at Columbia University, where I recently finished my Ph.D.  I am very interested in modern U.S. business, social, and cultural history­especially anything to do with the NYSE! 

Currently, I am working on converting my dissertation into a book; the subject is the comeback of the NYSE during the Cold War after the debacle of the scandal-stained Depression years.  I find teaching to be very complementary to my research; the opportunity to teach and be taught by students here at Bucknell has been a rewarding and enriching experience.
