Biography
As a joint doctoral student in History and Educational Policy Studies, I am broadly interested in the history of education and 20th century political economy. I want to examine the role primary and secondary education curricula and programs have played in the development of modern conservative ideology and identity. More specifically, I want to explore the ideological motivations and goals of these educational programs that emerged or were reorganized in the New Deal and post-war period. Prior to graduate school, I taught high school history in the Greater Boston area to lovely groups of students to whom I’m indebted for their encouragement of my pursuit of graduate study.
