I define "international history" broadly. My research examines the interactions between states, peoples, and cultures -- especially in the twentieth century. I am interested in the decisions of leaders and institutions, as well as the influence of ideas and social movements. Through multiarchival research I hope to "globalize" our understanding of relations among societies and America's often contested place in the world. My teaching applies this international approach to the history of American foreign relations since the eighteenth century (History 433 and 434), the global upheavals of the 1960s (History 600), great power relations since 1815 (History 901), the global history of the Cold War (History 753), and the history of imperialism (History 703).
