I am an interdisciplinary scholar whose work is grounded in historical practice, archival research, digital humanities, collaboration, and community-engaged scholarship.
Research
My current historical research examines families, environments, and empire in the eighteenth-century British Atlantic.
RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT
Through the IU Indianapolis Arts and Humanities Institute, I build programs and infrastructure that support faculty research and creative activity, including seed funding, project development, interdisciplinary collaboration, and research development.
COLLABORATION
I work with scholars across disciplines on projects involving AI and Roman archaeology, digital and AI literacy, digital ontologies for multimodal data, and community-engaged work on civic literacy.
TEACHING
I teach historical methods and theory, digital humanities, histories of science and environment, and the history of Britain and its empire since 1600.
