About
As a Byron K. Trippet Assistant Professor of History and the David A. Moore Chair in American History at Wabash College, I have a deep passion for understanding the complexities of the American past. I have a commitment to rigorous research, inclusive pedagogy, and public engagement. I strive to use my scholarship and teaching to address inequality and work toward social and racial justice. I am a native of the Deep South, with roots in Alabama and Louisiana, and when I'm not researching or writing, you can probably find me designing tabletop games or spending time with my family: Rosie and Gumbo.
