Professor Cahill joined the department of History in 2004 as a historian of the U.S. and U.S. West. Her areas of interest include the intersection of race and gender in the U.S. West as well as the role of the federal government in that region. Her current research project, Federal Fathers and Mothers: Gender, Labor, and Race in the U.S. Indian Service, 1869-1928, pulls those themes together in a study of the personnel of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In that work, she focuses particularly on the stories of female and native employees. Courses she has taught included: The Family and Politics in American History, Federal Indian Schools and American Education, and a seminar on The Federal Presence in the West. In the future she hopes to teach U.S. Women s History and a course on the Progressive Period. Education: B.A. English and History, University of California, Davis, 1996, M.A. Program in the Social Sciences, University of Chicago, 1997, Ph.D. History, University of Chicago, 2004.
