My parents allowed me tremendous freedom to roam my hometown once I could ride a bike and catch a bus. This wandering allowed me to find those neighborhoods and institutions that best suited my tastes; I collected neighborhoods the way some kids collected stamps or baseball cards. In dreams I am forever discovering a "new" and "unexplored" Baltimore neighborhood that I can't imagine having missed before. Baltimore was just that kind of town--always some new place to explore.<br> <br> Like many urban historians I have transformed my love for cities into a professional career. Most of my work attempts to reconcile cultural and intellectual history with existing urban form, politics, and society. My books and articles focus upon recent historical narratives that I believe offer alternative insights into contemporary urban issues. <br> <br> I have been employed in a variety of different positions including ceramics instructor, writing tutor, director of an after-school program in Santa Fe, full-time professor of American history at the university level, and administrator of programs on urban affairs at Tulane University. I am currently an Assistant Professor at the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, New York..<br> <br> Do feel free to contact me if you have any questions about my work or research.</p> </td> <td valign="top" align="center"> <div align="center"> <img align="right" src="/web/20080924085715im_/http://www.civicprojects.com/about/images/nick_photo1.jpg"></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html></font></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div align="center"> <smfooter>Copyright 2008 CivicProjects.com - All Rights Reserved.<br>Site Designed by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080924085715/http://www.fairunlimited.net/" target="_blank">Fair Unlimited</a></smfooter></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
