| Past
experience: For the last seven years, planner/consultant/presenter of history video and discussion series at Baldwin Library (Birmingham) and Rochester Hills Public Library (NEH/Michigan Humanities Council sponsored). Consultant this year with Indiana State Library on World War I traveling exhibit. My teaching and research center around 20th century American politics and culture. I have focused in my courses on race, civil rights, and civil liberties issues involved in the Sweet case. In teaching Michigan History I have used with success books like "The Other Side of the River" by Alex Kotlowitz, about racial tensions in Benton Harbor-St. Joseph, and in Detroit History classes books like "The Origins of the Urban Crisis" by Thomas Sugrue. I write a regular column for the Detroit Historical Society Newsletter, "Making History," in which I frequently comment on race and social issues. |
