I studied modern European history at Northwestern University. My teaching and writing intersect with intellectual history, the history of science, and urban history.
I’m especially interested in the history of political culture, and have written about meritocracy and technocracy, radicalism and social democracy, neo-conservatism and neo-liberalism.
I’m currently working on British historical writing since the nineteenth century. How did this national frame of reference deal with scales and connections that far exceed the nation?
