I am an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Loyola Marymount University.

My research & teaching interests include American Indian history, Los Angeles history, California history, the history of the American West, and 20th Century United States history. 

May 2012 saw the publication of my first book, Reimagining Indian Country: Native American Migration and Identity in Twentieth-Century Los Angeles (The University of North Carolina Press).  It follows the migration of American Indians to cities, the development of urban American Indian life, and the relationships between cities and American Indian reservations.
