Short biographical note:

I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at California State University, Long Beach. I received my B.A. from U.C. Berkeley, and my Ph.D. from the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago in 2002. My work has been focused on U.S. military occupations. My book, Capturing the German Eye: American Visual Propaganda in Occupied Germany (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2009), is centered on the U.S. experience in post-WWII Germany.  My recent articles have been on the American experience in occupied Iraq. I am now beginning a new project on anti-Americanism in post-WWII Argentina.
