The department has hired Leslie Madsen-Brooks to be its new public historian, beginning in August 2010. Madsen-Brooks received her doctorate from UC Davis in Cultural Studies in 2006. She writes about women in science, material culture, museums, and digital history (of which she is a practitioner as well as a student). She will teach undergraduate courses in public history and US gender history, as well as graduate seminars in public history.

I didn't know 'digital history' existed. Sounds like something I should investigate.
Good luck in your new position.
It does! You should!
Definitely investigate--take my course! :) And feel free to e-mail me at ljmadsen -at- ucdavis -dot- edu if you have questions.
