Research Interests
I have wide-ranging research interests in modern American history, including environmental history, the history of the American West, and social history, particularly race, ethnicity, gender, and labor. My book, Shaping the Shoreline: Fisheries and Tourism on the Monterey Coast, has been published in the University of Washington Press's Weyerhaeuser Environmental Books Series (edited by William Cronon). more »
My next book project will explore the environmental history of the Japanese internment camps.
