I am a historian of France with an interest in the history of gender, colonialism, and decolonization. Before becoming an assistant professor of European history at UofL in 2019, I was an assistant professor and Jamie & Thelma Guilbeau/BORSF Endowed Professor in History at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I received my doctorate in History from Boston College in 2017. My work has been supported by the American Philosophical Society, the Social Science Research Council, the American Historical Association, the Society for French Historical Studies, the Western Society for French History, as well as UofL's Commonwealth Center for the Humanities and Society, and the University of Louisiana’s Guilbeau Charitable Trust.
