My Research:

Novkov is currently working on three projects. The first is a co-edited volume with Carol Nackenoff on the role and function of family in American political development. The second, also with Carol Nackenoff, is a Landmark Cases book on Wong Kim Ark v. United States. The third is a book on the connection between military service and claims for rights and civic membership by men of color in the Civil War, the Spanish American and Philippine American Wars, and World War I.
