Ben Railton

I’m a Professor of English Studies, Director of Graduate English, and Coordinator of American Studies at Fitchburg State University. I’m the author of six books, most recently Of Thee I Sing: The Contested History of American Patriotism (2021). I also contribute the bimonthly Considering History column to the Saturday Evening Post. But I’m most proud to be Dad to my two sons, Aidan and Kyle; and the husband to my badass wife and website co-host Vaughn.
