Biographical Text
Finnefrock received her M.A. in History at Mason in 2002. During her time at Mason she worked at the Center of History and New Media—now named the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media after its founder and our late colleague, Roy Rosenzweig. Finnefrock worked with faculty to make courses and course materials available on the Internet before major course management systems became widely used on college campuses, and she participated in several projects aimed at helping students to think critically about the Internet as a resource and educational tool. After leaving the Center of History and New Media, Finnefrock worked at the Library of Congress to help make the Library’s American Memory Collection resources accessible to K-12 teachers and students. In 2002 Finnefrock moved to Blackboard, Inc., the education technology company whose products are now an essential part of the lives of most of our students and teachers. She is now Senior Vice President for Product Development at Blackboard. She leads Blackboard’s development efforts and serves as a member of Blackboard’s corporate executive team. She is now Blackboard’s longest-serving product development chief. She oversees an annual budget of more than $28 million and 180 full-time product development staff members working in locations across the globe.

Biographical Text
Before I came to George Mason University in 2001 to join the faculty of the history & new media program, I spent seven years at Montana State University and eleven years at the University of Maine. Historians are fond of saying that a history major is a versatile major. Proof of concept: I spent my last year at the University of Maine as chair of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics. My research interests concern the history of women and the family in the American West, the US toy industry, the development of domestic law, and the application of digital technology to teaching history and historical research (not necessarily in that order). Predictably, my teaching reflects these areas of expertise. In the past, I have received a Fulbright Fellowship to the United Kingdom, an NEH Fellowship, an Apple Computer Faculty Internship, and a Smithsonian Fellowship, among others, in addition to the Paladin and Oscar O. Winther prizes. I am orginally from Montana, have three cats—Gray Mowit, Dakota, and Wing.

Biographical Text
My research and teaching focus on the state and social citizenship in the modern United States. I am especially interested in national political culture and its formation within specific social, cultural, and institutional contexts. My first book, Warfare State, is a history of the social politics of the national state as its foundations shifted from welfare to warfare during World War II. Its central concern is to examine the ways in which different groups of citizens encountered the burgeoning warfare state and in the process accepted, rejected, or otherwise contested the legitimacy of expanding federal authority in everyday life. My second book project, “The New Leviathan,” examines changing notions and practices of sovereignty during the Unites States’ rise to globalism. Blending political and intellectual history with social and cultural methodology, it traces the shifting intersections of international and national, global and local levels of power, to explain the modalities of rule at home and abroad that resulted from a world politics rigidified by bipolar nuclear contention. My teaching commitments and interests include courses on the "new" political history; social movements; war and society; the history of the American state; internationalizing domestic history; consumption; metropolitan America; the interwar period; the New Deal; World War II. In the future I plan to add courses on the rights revolution; social engineering; the social politics of the Cold War; the history of technology in American society; and the United States since WWII. I have also done work in the emerging field of history and new media, developing a nascent methodology for using the web and other electronic media to generate "born digital" primary historical materials in a series of grant-funded projects which combine the qualitative and participatory approach of oral history and ethnomethodology with more conventionally archival aspirations to document and preserve primary materials.

Biographical Text
Dr. Greg Goodale is the 2011 winner of Northeastern University’s Excellence-in-Teaching Award. He currently serves as one of eight Teaching Excellence Mentors, which means that he helps other Northeastern University instructors to become better at teaching through the Center for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching and Learning. Inspired by 14 teachers in his family and the extraordinary students he has taught at the University of Illinois and Northeastern University, he has recently completed his newest book, A Professor’s Advice to his Students, which is being considered for publication. Dr. Goodale is a graduate of George Mason University (BA and MA), the University of Virginia School of Law (JD), and the University of Illinois (PhD) where he performed research in Rhetoric and American History. A former lawyer, lobbyist, and congressional aide, he continues his interest in democracy and in particular how American citizenship intersects with race, gender, species and disability. As a public advocate (mostly for people with disabilities), Dr. Goodale brings his Washington, DC experience into the classroom and into his scholarship. That experience is now used to lead classes that advocate on behalf of foster children (Advocacy Workshop), victims of human trafficking and disabled children (Advocacy Writing) and at-risk girls (Public Speaking). Dr. Goodale’s research lies at the intersection of three key themes in an emerging philosophy called Post-Humanism. This intersection undermines the dominance of vision as a way of organizing the world into categories and classes in favor of rethinking concepts like sex, race, species and ability. His books, Arguments About Animal Ethics and Sonic Persuasion: Reading Sound in the Recorded Age, and his journal articles like “Black and White: Vestiges of Biracialism in American Discourse” and “The Presidential Sound” are examples of Post-Humanist scholarship. Dr. Goodale has completed his next monograph, The Invention of “Man,” and has begun to work on a new book project tentatively titled “Against Truth.” His scholarship on sound has been quoted in political magazines like The New Republic and Influences l’officiel des idees and news radio programs.
