RESEARCH
AND TEACHING INTERESTS
I became interested in history as a means of exploring the ways in
which diverse urban populations have organized themselves into social,
cultural, and political communities. My current research
explores the impact of post-World War II Protestant ministries on
urban politics and church culture. I teach a wide variety of
courses at CSULA, from topical to methodological and local to global.
As an educator, I see my role as helping students to use
their understandings of the past to empower themselves and
their communities.
