History and Public Humanities

Welcome!

I am a historian and experienced museologist dedicated to studying museum histories and developing public history institutions and programming. My first book “The Amazing Iroquois” and the Invention of the Empire State focuses on the entangled histories of Native American history, memory, and museums in New York State across the long nineteenth century. Ongoing projects include developing museums and exhibitions as well as publishing in Gulf Coast, antebellum, and museum history.
