I started my eleventh year at Boston College in the fall of 2008. I teach a wide range of undergraduate and graduate courses on the nineteenth-century United States and on political and urban history. My research to date has explored the history of race and democracy between the American Revolution and Reconstruction in the local political cultures of New York. I am completing a new synthetic project, “Last, Best Hope: International Lives of the American Civil War" (Hill & Wang) and editing “A Companion to American Urban History” (Blackwell, 2009) and "The Boston Busing Crisis: A Brief History with Documents” (Bedford, 2009).
