I am available to give talks on a range of topics pertaining to my past and present scholarship, including my recent book, Believing in Cleveland. My preferred speaking topics include 20th-century urban, suburban, or metropolitan history. I have particular expertise on New Orleans, Cleveland, and, more recently, Augusta, Macon, and Columbus, Georgia. I am also interested in presenting on my project experience in oral history, public history, and digital history, including projects in Cleveland and Kisumu, Kenya. To schedule an event, please contact me.
