My interests are fairly diverse. I have articles under consideration on alternate history novels (a genre of popular fiction) and the connection between peak oil movement (a secular apocalyptic movement of the new millennium)and the American ideology of unlimited economic growth. My dissertation focuses on this subject and a growing awareness of the limits of natural resources and America's global power. However, this is something of an outlier: my primary interest is in postwar American popular culture and political power, from film to music to popular fiction. In addition, I am an avid lifelong basketball fan, and find myself returning to sports, which I view within the context of race, class, and culture.
