Dr. Moran’s research focuses on the late 19th and early 20th century United States: on transnational encounters and migrations, religious thought and culture, and processes of U.S. nation- and empire-building. Her latest book is “Imagining God’s Country: Catholicism, Nation, Empire and the Making of Modern America, 1870–1920,” tracing a widespread reevaluation of Roman Catholicism in U.S. national identity formations during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.. Bringing together American Protestant and Catholic encounters with Catholic communities and pasts in places as diverse as Risorgimento Italy and Kulturkampf Germany, the boom cities of the U.S. Midwest and far west, and emerging sites of U.S. overseas empire, “Imagining God’s Country” brings a global perspective to the history of the changing place of Catholicism in U.S. culture and society.
