Andrew P. Haley's research focuses on class and culture in the United States during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era. His publications include an article in Midwestern Folklore and an entry on Muslim-American women’s culinary roles in The Encyclopedia of Women and Islamic Cultures. He is the recipient of grants from the Andrew F. Mellon Foundation and the Center for Cultural Studies at the University of Pittsburgh. Haley is currently revising his dissertation, “Turning the Tables: American Restaurant Culture and the Rise of the Middle Class, 1880-1920,” for publication. The work argues that changes in restaurant culture at the turn of the century—battles over French-language menus, scientific eating, cosmopolitan cuisine—demonstrate the growing influence of urban middle-class consumers. Further research interests include: Chinese cuisine in the United States, nineteenth century perceptions of cooking in New Orleans, “virtual restaurants” in the 1950s, historical perceptions of taste, and children’s cookbooks.
