My name is Alex Elkins. I got my Ph.D. in History from Temple University in December 2017. I currently live in Metro Detroit. I teach as a Lecturer at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and I work full-time as a union organizer for the Lecturers’ Employee Organization.

My dissertation is titled, “Battle of the Corner: Urban Policing and Rioting in the United States, 1943-1971.” If you’d like a copy, please contact me by leaving a comment below.
