I specialize in the social and cultural history of the United States during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I am especially interested in iconic figures, from John L. Sullivan to Mother Jones, from Butcher Bill Poole to John Dillinger. Working-class life, masculinity, and the history of violence are themes that run through much of my research.
