Dr. Will Mackintosh has a new research article, “‘Ticketed Through’: The Commodification of Travel in the Nineteenth Century,” that will soon be published by The Journal of the Early Republic. It is due to appear in their Spring 2012 edition.
In addition to his work on this study, Dr. Mackintosh presented a paper entitled “Constructing Negative Tourist Archetypes in American Satire, 1800-1860” at the “Travel in the 19th Century: Narratives, Histories and Collections Conference” at the University of Lincoln. He has also composed the official entry on “Leisure” for the forthcoming Oxford Encyclopedia of American Social History.
In the spring semester, he will be offering courses on “The History of United States Travel” (Hist 300e), “History of Manhood in the United States” (Hist 300m), and “American History to 1865” (Hist 131).
