Career & Education

After receiving a B.A. from Texas A&M University and a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona, I taught for many years at the University of London (at King's College and then at Birkbeck). In 2002 I was Visiting Associate Professor at Harvard, in 2005 I was Marshall Weinberg Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Michigan, and in 2010 I was the Inaugural Distinguished Visiting Professor at Brown University (where I gave the Brown-Blackwell Lectures).
