I'm a 20th-century U.S. cultural and intellectual historian. I am an Associate Professor at the Honors College at the University of Oklahoma. My current major project is on the legacy of Leo Strauss and the Straussians in American public life, but my research and teaching interests also involve film history, public history and memory, and American political culture. In my capacity as Publications Chair of the Society for U.S. Intellectual History (S-USIH), I edit our U.S. Intellectual History blog, for which I've been writing for a few years. As the first Publications Chair of a new professional organization, I'm interested in exploring how the changing technological landscape might create opportunities for organizations like ours to promote new kinds of scholarly publications.
