An Engaged Professor

I often say that students should be "engaged" in their learning. So should I! Learning should be fun. We should all remember that absolute joy we felt as toddlers as we began to explore the world around us. Let's capture that spirit of WOW in what we have to learn now as well. To that end, this blog is a mixed bag of grammar and writing advice, constitutional news, urban history, political news, and whatever else comes to mind for my students. Tell me below which topics will help you most.

Freedom of the Screen

Freedom of the Screen
My first book details the legal challenges to governmental film censorship which gave to moviemakers the right of free expression and expanded our conception of free speech rights in the process. It was favorably reviewed in the American Historical Review, and the Journal of Popular Culture.

The Miracle Case: Film Censorship and the Supreme Court

The Miracle Case: Film Censorship and the Supreme Court
My second book, co-authored with cultural historian Raymond J. Haberski, Jr., looks at the pivotal case in the demise of film censorship along with its considerable cultural aftermath. It has been favorably reviewed in the American Historical Review, the Journal of American History, Film & History, and the Law and History Review.
