简介

RESEARCH INTERESTS I am completing a book on rural cultural, political economy and the market in the Mid-Atlantic from 1760 to 1820, and have recently published on the "consumer revolution" of the late eighteenth century. I am also working on the history of Rutgers University, from 1966 to the present, as part of an oral history collaboration with Sandra Holyoak, and in hopes of updating by 2016 the 1966 bicentennial history of Rutgers. Kathleen Jones of Virginia Tech and I plan to complete two or more articles on various aspects of the Leopold-Loeb 1924 kidnapping and murder case.
