Research Interests

I grew up in rural Kansas before studying Classics at Columbia University in New York City. I later moved from Classics to History and studied for a master's degree at the University of St Andrews. Recently, I completed a DPhil in History at Lincoln College, Oxford.

I am interested in early modern political culture, space and place, the history of buildings, cultural memory, and the history of incarceration and torture.
