Brief Biography:
I hold a PhD in American History from the University of Delaware. I have been a faculty member at Brigham Young University and Westminster College in Salt Lake City, UT. Prior to becoming the Associate Provost for Integrative Learning at Westminster, I served as the Founding Director of Westminster's Center for Civic Engagement. I have also been the Director of Service-Learning for Washington Campus Compact and the Executive Director of Utah Campus Compact. My service-learning and civic engagement work focuses on the intersection of history, education, and community. I have run community oral history projects on immigration, urban growth, and the shift from agriculture to suburban life. My most recent publications focus on the ways that history provides insight into current civic problems. They include articles on creating democratic and moral systems of education and on the history of service-learning in the United States. I am currently the Executive Editor of the Journal for Civic Commitment. In my spare time I'm active in local politics and enjoy running on the trails in the hills above my home.
