My main interests are in race and sexuality in the British Empire. As well as a forthcoming book (Prostitution, Race and Politics:
Policing Venereal Disease in the British Empire), I am at work on a short history of the British Empire for Longman and a volume for the Oxford History of the British Empire on gender and empire. I was Program Chair for the American Historical Association's 2002 conference, and will be president of the USC faculty, 2002-2003. In 2001, I was elected a Gamma Sigma Alpha Professor of the Year.
