I am a historian of the U.S. Department of State, citizen diplomacy, and the long 19th Century.

 

Currently, I serve as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the U.S. Naval War College, where I teach graduate courses on the history of diplomacy, strategy, and international relations. I was previously an Ernest May Postdoctoral Fellow in History and Policy at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard Kennedy School. I have also held multiple predoctoral and research fellowships, including those from Fulbright Canada, American Philosophical Society, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the Notre Dame International Security Center. 

 

In addition to my traditional historical research, I actively seek to bring historical analysis to broader audiences through applied and public history.
