Research Interests
Research interests focus on Modern European History with an emphasis on nineteenth-century France. He is particularly interested in historical processes that shape cultural identities, including the experiences of cross-cultural exchange and the emergence of modern nationalism. Other research and teaching interests deal with the roles of intellectuals in modern societies and the theoretical foundations of historical knowledge. His teaching stresses the importance of reading, discussing, and writing about influential books in various eras of European history and world history. In recent years he has developed a growing interest in Global History, and he occasionally teaches a course called "Global Issues in the Twentieth Century." One recurring theme in all of his research and teaching stresses the importance of cross-cultural exchanges in modern world history. Publications include Threshold of a New World: Intellectuals and the Exile Experience in Paris, 1830-1848 (1988); Lafayette in Two Worlds: Public Cultures and Personal Identities in an Age of Revolutions (1996); Nationalism: Political Cultures in Europe and America, 1775-1865 (1998); co-editor of Learning History in America: Schools, Cultures and Politics (1994); "Literature Criticism, and Historical Imagination: The Literary Challenge of Hayden White and Dominick LaCapra," in Lynn Hunt, ed., The New Cultural History (1989). He is also co-author, with R. R. Palmer and Joel Colton, of A History of the Modern World, 10th edition (2007) and, co-editor with Sarah Maza, of A Companion to Western Historical Thought (2002).
