Formally trained in American Studies, I am jointly appointed in History and Gender Studies at the University of Utah. Befitting my interdisciplinary background, my research interests are diverse but largely focus on understanding the relationship between identity formation and relations of power. My work involves both traditional models of scholarly output, like books and articles, and community-engaged scholarly projects, like the construction of digital archives, the development of oral history projects, and the production of K-12 curriculum materials. I am the author of Meet Joe Copper: Masculinity and Race on Montana's World War II Home Front (University of Chicago Press, 2013); the editor of Men at Work: Rediscovering Depression-Era Stories from the Federal Writers' Project (University of Utah Press, 2012); the co-author of a K-12 textbook entitled We Shall Remain: A Native History of Utah and America (American West Center, 2009); and the co-editor of Across the Great Divide: Cultures of Manhood in the American West (Routledge, 2001). We Shall Remain is part of a larger initiative, the Utah Indian Curriculum Project (UICP), which also includes the Utah American Indian Digital Archive, a 50,000 page digital archive. (UICP is available at www.utahindians.org.) UICP won the Western History Association's Autry Public History Prize, the American Association of State and Local History's Award of Merit, and National Council on Public History's Project of the Year - Honorable Mention. Besides my appointments in History and Gender Studies, between 2006 and 2012 I also directed the University of Utah's American West Center. At the Center, I initiated and oversaw not only UICP, but also six oral history projects, a number of federal, state, and tribal research projects, film festivals, lectures, conferences, and symposia. During my years at the Center I secured over one million dollars in grants and contracts and funded and trained over fifty graduate students in public history methodologies. I am currently working on a book on Settler Masculinity in the Pacific World and beginning a new project on the historical experience of old age in America that has both a significant public history and scholarly component.
