One of the concepts I find fascinating is the concept of memory.  How do we remember events and how does it impact our decisions today. Social psychology,  differences in understanding of a war from one generation to another is amazingly complex. How does it all fit into the bigger picture? See 9/11 talks below.

Talk Topics

9/11

9/11 is a fascination of mine for many reasons. First, I lived through the horrors - watching the attack unfurl before us and seeing the changes in our daily activities following the attack - I also got to see how it impacted the next generation and see how it influenced them, as well as the generation after. It brings interesting questions to mind that can also be tied to the past. My most recent talk on 9/11 went national. See my 9/11 page for more information.

Being a political historian I am fascinated by historical figures and events that carved out who we are today. My first interest was Andrew Jackson and his unprecendented declaration of martial law - how did this impact future presidential decisions and was the declaration for martial law constitutional? The Battle of New Orleans marked the turning point in American history but it was fraught with legal implications. Similarly, other wars had just as large of an impact.
