Welcome! By education, I am a historian of early America. By vocation, I am a teacher and a writer. While I work outside academia, I remain historically minded.
Much of my creative energy goes into course design. I have been teaching a full-year course on Atlantic World History since 2006. Follow the “Atlantic World” tab for my idea book for Atlantic World History courses: a collection of primary sources, online exhibits, podcasts, and reading recommendations, with a few musings of my own. I started teaching European history in 2016. Follow the “Europe” tab for some thoughts on how to refresh the European History survey course.
As a trained historian working outside academia, I still write a lot, much of it historical, but mostly in short and accessible forms: encyclopedia articles, magazine articles, essays on teaching, personal essays. Follow the “Writing” tab for links to some of my writing.
