Teaches United States history and has a special interest in the American South, and nationalism in the Americas and Europe.

Professor Doyle regularly teaches the US history survey course, an honors college seminar on Faulkner and Southern History, and courses on the comparative history of nationalism. His publications include: The Social Order of a Frontier Community; Nashville in the New South; Nashville Since the 1920s; New Men, New Cities, New South; The South as an American Problem (co-edited with Larry Griffin); Faulkner's County; and Nations Divided: America, Italy, and the Southern Question.

Current Activities:

I spent part of 2004 in Brazil working with Marco Pamplona on a collection of essays we are editing as a book, Nationalism in the New World. I am also working on a book interpreting US nationalism that asks what held this vast, multi-ethnic, immigrant nation together as a nation-and what divided it. One of the questions I'm exploring is how regional versions of nationalism fueled both the South's effort to secede from the nation and the North's determination to keep it together.
