Profession

edit

Academic librarian.

Intellectual Interests

edit

I am interested in American social and cultural history and the evolution of reference sources. At present, as the books and courses listed below indicate, I am immersed in antebellum America. I am also interested in the way in which fiction enables readers, viewers, and listeners to experience the past. And I am committed to all legitimate ways in which learning can be offered freely -- with both style, ease, and refinement -- to everyone -- throughout the course of their lives.
