I am a European intellectual historian, whose research has centered around intellectual life in modern France. I have been teaching in the Indiana University for more than 35 years, and I enjoy teaching more each year. I have long offered a course on the culture of Paris and Berlin in the 1920s, and I am quite happy that I can now offer a "prequel" to that course in which we can explore the rich cultural life in France in the era before the 1920s.

As a Fellow in the in the Carnegie Academy for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning and the Mack Center for Inquiry on Teaching and Learning, I have had the opportunity to work with professors around the world in a shared effort to find new ways to assist student learning. I am the winner of the American Historical Association's Eugene Asher Distinguished Teaching Award and Indiana University's Frederic Bachman Lieber Memorial Award in Recognition of Distinguished Teaching

I have lived in Paris. I love the city and I am very much looking forward to sharing it once again with my students in this course.
