BRIAN PHILLIPS MURPHY
Welcome!
Thanks for stopping by my website!
I'm a historian and sometime journalist who is interested in politics and power. My first book was about finance and infrastructure in early America, and I'm working on a new book about Aaron Burr and corruption.
I'm also the director of the Honors College at Rutgers University-Newark, where I try to create opportunities for students and faculty to connect in engaging, interdisciplinary courses, research labs, and intellectually-grounded projects that bridge campus and the region I've called home for my entire life.
​
You can learn more about my work here at this site, and more about the Honors College and my work in higher education at our homepage.
I hope you'll read my work and get in touch!
