My area of expertise is American labor history, with emphasis on the 20th century. My publications include a book entitled, American Railroad Labor and the Genesis of the New Deal (Tallahassee: University Press of Florida, 2010), several articles and many book reviews. I am currently the Faculty Advisor to the History Club. Additionally, I am working on a biography of Massachusetts Senator David Walsh. I have taught at Framingham State since 1997. Previously, I edited the New England Journal of History, served as Department Chair, and as Assistant Director and then Director of Center for Excellence in Learning, Teaching, Scholarship, and Service (CELTSS), and as a Faculty Fellow for the Division of Graduate and Continuing Education.
