Current Research Project:

Tentative title: “Unfinished Revolution: Anti-British Sentiment and an Emerging American Identity, 1815-1850.” This research project examines the extent to which Anglophobia shaped American culture, politics, economic development, the slavery debate, and westward expansion. In so doing, it will seek to draw comparisons between the United States and other post-colonial societies that struggled to define themselves after winning independence from European powers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
