My dissertation examines the interaction of US foreign and domestic policy between the World Wars, specifically the attempt of reform-minded Americans to balance their desire to reform the world with their fear that excessive contact with a sick world would infect democracy at home. More broadly, my interests include the rise (and fall?) of American liberalism, the role of the US Senate in foreign relations. the interaction between Congress and the press in policymaking, and the political class in general.
