Welcome to my website. I am a historian of U.S. political culture,
American religion, and the American South. A resident of St. Louis, MO, I hold a Ph.D. in History
from Vanderbilt University (2006). I currently teach U.S. and world history courses at Webster University and Washington
University (University College), and I recently served as Visiting Assistant Professor
of History at Goshen (IN) College. My first book, Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South (2009; paperback and e-book, 2011) has drawn praise in the pages of The New York Times Book Review and Reviews in American History, among numerous other publications. Billy Graham and the Rise of the Republican South is now available in paper and e-book formats. Purchase from Amazon, Better World Books,or Powell's. I am at work on my next book, tentatively titled The Age of the Evangelicals: Born-Again Faith, Culture, and Politics since 1970 (under contract with Oxford University Press). On the left, you can find links to several recent courses. On the right are links related to my scholarship and writing. Stay tuned for regular updates. Religion in American History Blog |
