Expertise

I research and write about the twentieth century United States in a global context with special emphases on human migration, science and technology, nationalism, popular culture, and public history. Currently I am exploring the history, trajectory, and impact of immigration policies that favor migrants with nationally desired skills since the industrial revolution.
