This
web site was created and is maintained by Scott Newman of Chicago,
Illinois. I am presently a Ph.D. candidate in the history department of
Loyola University Chicago. I completed my M.A. in history in May of 1996
at Loyola and, before that, earned my B.A. at Rockhurst College in
Kansas City, Missouri.
My fields of specialization are twentieth-century American history,
British-Irish history, and modern European history. Within the area of
American history, I focus primarily upon the social and cultural history
of America's cities during the first fifty years of the twentieth
century. Popular culture, consumerism, gender history, urban
development, and transportation history are my primary subject areas.
Happily, I survived my doctoral examination process during the first
months of 1999 and began to lay the groundwork for my dissertation in
March 1999. My Ph.D. dissertation will likely discuss one or more of
these subjects as they relate to the city of Chicago and its development
during the 1910s and 1920s.
