Teaching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I believe that lively teaching requires lively research, and that both need to be tied closely to complex problems that arise in everyday life. In order to maximize the interplay between these activities, I dedicate time in the classroom to teaching students how they think about the world as researchers. To do this, I stage classroom experiences that enable us to engage with the materials at hand, while also modeling ways of understanding our relationship to those materials not simply as passive consumers of pre-packaged information, but as creators of new knowledge for ourselves, for our fellow students, and for the various worlds that we inhabit in other aspects of our lives. All of my classes ask and enable students to engage actively and critically with course materials in a variety of interdisciplinary contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to teaching in IAS and at UW Bothell, I am adjunct faculty in the English Department at UW Seattle where I teach occasional graduate courses and supervise doctoral work. I also work with UW graduate students through the UW\u2019s graduate Certificate in Public Scholarship<\/a>, which I helped to found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Research\/Scholarship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My research interests fall into several broad categories: American studies, cultural studies, queer studies, critical race studies, and interdisciplinary and public scholarship. My first book, Sentimental Bodies: Sex, Gender, and Citizenship in the Early Republic (Princeton UP), focused on the intersection of these fields in the specific context of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century United States. In 2007, I co-edited (with Glenn Hendler) Keywords for American Cultural Studies(NYU Press) and co-developed an interactive website that extends its inquiries: Keywords for American Cultural Studies<\/a>. A second, expanded edition of the book and website appeared in 2014, and a third edition is scheduled to appear in 2020. At the UW, I have co-directed or developed a number of collaborations and lecture series: \u201cThinking Sex in Transnational Times\u201d in 2002-2003 (with Chandan Reddy); \u201cPlacing the Humanities: New Locations, New Meanings\u201d in 2004-2005 and the \u201cCultural Studies Praxis Collective\u201d in 2005-2008 (with Kanta Kochhar-Lindgren); the Simpson Center for the Humanities\u2019 week-long \u201cInstitute in the Public Humanities for Doctoral 足彩app哪个是正规的s in 2005-2009 and \u201cPlatforms for Public Scholarship\u201d in 2009-2010 (with Miriam Bartha); and the \u201cProject for Interdisciplinary Pedagogy\u201d beginning in 2004 (with Martha Groom and David Goldstein) beginning in 2004. I serve on the Press Committee of the University of Washington Press, and have co-directed the UW graduate Certificate in Public Scholarship<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the UW, I serve or have served on the advisory and editorial boards of three journals, American Quarterly, American Literary History, and Lateral: A Journal of the Cultural Studies Association. I am the Past President of the Cultural Studies Association<\/a>, the Past Chair of the National Advisory Board of Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life<\/a>, and serves on the Board of Trustees of Humanities Washington<\/a>, the humanities council for Washington State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
