My research and professional work is in Public History and the history of public policy in the U.S. from the 1860s to 1920s. I serve as editor of the journal THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN, founded and edited at UCSB since 1978 in conjunction with the National Council for Public History. I am also working on a book on law and race in New York City in the fifty years after the Civil War. For undergraduates: I advise the History of Public Policy major and teach courses for that major (History 7, 170A&B, 172A&B), teach in the World History series (2C) and American People series (17C), and teach an undergraduate introduction to Public History (192). For graduates: I teach in and Direct our Graduate Program in Public History, cooperating with the faculty of California State University Sacramento in offering a joint PhD in the field. For Public Historians with projects for THE PUBLIC HISTORIAN, I look forward to talking with you and encourage you to contact Managing Editor Lindsey Reed (lreed@history.ucsb.edu).
