Read Publications
Thanks to the support of the American Council of Learned Societies (the ACLS), the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Mellon Foundation, the essays listed here are published in peer-reviewed journals and are available in open access. These align with a public engagement philosophy that has long been a part of my teaching practice. Moreover, one can also read the work without leaving this site. Simply click on the Read Publications tab and select from the list that appears. You'll be directed to a built-in PDF reader with reading tools.
