I received my PhD from the City University of New York in 2009. My dissertation, “The United States National Student Association: Democracy, Activism, and the Idea of the Student, 1947-1978,” is a history of American student organizing before, during, and after the 1960s as seen through the lens of the most prominent student government organization of the time. I live in Manhattan, I teach history at the City University of New York, and I speak regularly on college campuses and at conferences.
