Hello, and welcome back to New Books in the American West, a channel on the New Books Network of Podcasts.
I'm Steve Hausman.
I'm an assistant professor of environmental history at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.
And I am your host for today's interview.
And for this episode, I'm speaking with Jeff Roche.
Dr. Roche is a professor of history at the College of Wooster in Ohio, and we'll be discussing his new book, The Conservative Frontier, Texas and the Origins of the New Right, which came out just recently with University of Texas Press earlier this year in 2025.
Welcome to the New Books Network, Jeff.
Good to have you here today.
Why don't we start as we always like to do on this podcast by just hearing a little bit about who you are and how you got interested in history.
So what's your background and what's the path that you took to becoming a professional historian?
That's fantastic.
And, I mean, we can talk more about this off mic, but I also know David Farber.
I took some classes with him at Temple University, actually, when I was in graduate school several years ago.
I just missed Ryan Edgington by a couple of years.
He had just stopped, just graduated when I started the program, actually.
But I know of Ryan for sure.
Yeah, right, right, right.
Well, more conversation to have off mic, but small world academia in Westminster.
Um, so, uh, I'm curious, I mean, you, you mentioned, uh, spending time in Texas.
Um, and I'm wondering what brought you to the topic of this book and if your time spent in the state itself or in West Texas may be influenced, uh, uh, coming to this book.
