Research Interests: My interests lie at the crossroads of 20th-century American religious history, cultural history, and the global dimensions of U.S. history, in particular the relationship between the U.S. and East Asian countries. My intended dissertation will study American Protestants' responses to developments in China and changes in U.S.-China relations in the period 1920 to 1970.
