Research
Interests:
Currently I am engaged in a research project on divorce and child custody law in Maryland
from 1900-1930, in the context of several cases that made their way through the Maryland courts during that era.
On November 16, 2007, I gave a presentation at the National Council of Teachers of English annual convention on using field work assignments in political science and legal studies courses.
