Area of expertise:
I am a historian of early America, the Atlantic world, and the British empire in the early-modern period spanning from the seventeenth into the nineteenth century. My first book, In My Power: Letter Writing and Communications in Early America, focused on the cultural, social, economic, and political history of letter writing and communications in the early-modern anglophone Atlantic World. My current research traces the shift in American geographical understandings of the wider world in the transition from colonial to post-colonial America, between 1660 and 1860.
