The manuscript project I am completing, Mainframing America, is a political history of the computer in the United States from the 1940s to the 1980s, examining the institutional, intellectual, and governmental policy origins of modern American information society.
On the radar is a second book-length project, "Flows: Energy, Capital, and Data in the Political Economy of the 1970s.”
My research has been supported by the Charles Babbage Institute; the Harry S. Truman Library Institute; the Bankard Fund for Political Economy; the Mellon Foundation; the UVA Institute for Humanities and Global Cultures; the Consortium for History of Science, Technology, and Medicine; the Lyndon Baines Johnson Foundation; the Association for Computing Machinery; the Computer History Museum; the Miller Center of Public Affairs; the Hagley Library and Museum; the University of Chicago Libraries; and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and Corcoran Department of History at the University of Virginia.
