Academic Interests
My broader research interests are in grassroots politics, social reform, and debates over rights in early U.S. history. I enjoy teaching about the development of race in the United States, slavery, the intersection of politics with women’s and gender history, activism, and the myriad changes that the new nation experienced as it unified, expanded, and divided in its early centuries of existence. I am currently revising my manuscript on the anti-slavery and anti-Black Law movement in the Old Northwest.
