  • About Timothy Kelly Ph.D.

    My interests in history range very broadly, though they have as a common thread the study of the ways that ordinary people perceived, experienced, and ultimately shaped the world.  Many cultural phenomena have shaped those understandings and experiences, including religion, popular culture, the economy, sports, and a dynamic and often enduring sense of justice and community.  My research and teaching follow this set of interests.
