Meet the Faculty

In 2002, Mary Renda won the prestigious Stuart L. Bernath Book Prize for Taking Haiti: Military Occupation and the Culture of U.S. Imperialism, 1915–1940.

How can we understand the media's evolution in the twentieth century? Daniel Czitrom wrote the book.
Political propaganda in the 1790s? Paul Staiti knows how it worked.

Interested in women’s writing during the American Civil War or the role of Frankenstein?—that’s right, the monster—in America’s complex racial history? These are some of Elizabeth Young’s areas of interest.

Why did the Shakers shake? Ask Jane Crosthwaite.

How have modern Jewish writers and makers of popular culture responded to the challenge of adjusting to America? Donald Weber knows.

Where’s Christopher Benfey? In Slate, the New York Times Sunday Book Review, the New Republic, the New York Review of Books, and the Times Literary Supplement.
