“早在我从英国移民到美国之前, 自由和平等的建国理想鼓舞了我. 作为历史学家, 虽然, I am continually confronted by the ways in which the US has often not lived up to those ideals.

I am committed to helping others see that same hope and to discover in the past how we all can contribute to moving our society and our world into a more just and equitable future."
