History of childhood and consumer culture; twentieth-century black cultural politics; post-WWII liberalism and social movements; and the history of feminism. My recent research has focused on the relationship between cultural production for children and politics since the 1950s, exploring the links between the toy industry, child experts, and the left in debates over things like war toys, Barbie, and black dolls.
