Professor Capozzola's research focuses on the political and cultural history of the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with a special interest in the impact of war on American everyday life.

He received a B.A. in Social Studies from Harvard College and a Ph.D. in History from Columbia University in 2002, and has taught at Columbia University and Middlebury College. His dissertation, "Uncle Sam Wants You: Political Obligations in World War I America," examined the political and social history of homefront mobilization in the United States.
