Kenneth Owen is currently Assistant Professor of History at the University of Illinois at Springfield. He has been blazing his own personal frontier trail, having taught previously at Ohio University and the University of Sussex. He received his DPhil from the University of Oxford in April 2011, for his dissertation ‘Political Community in Revolutionary Pennsylvania, 1774-1800’. His research focuses on the history of political organization and mobilization during the American Revolution and Early Republic, with particular focus on extra-governmental forms of political activism. He is currently working on revising his book manuscript, and starting research on his new project, ‘The Constitutional Frontier, 1790-1850’. When not involved in history projects of some sort, he can normally be found trying to convince students that cricket is the highest pinnacle of civilization, watching sports, or plotting to continue his quest to set foot in all 50 states.
