I'm a historian of the revolutionary United States.
My first book, Gentlemen Revolutionaries: Power and Justice in the New American Republic, was published by Princeton University Press in 2017. Right now, I'm working on a biography of Angelica Schuyler Church (you know, from Hamilton), which is also a book about class, capital, and cosmopolitanism in the Age of Revolutions. I teach colonial British North America and the United States to 1890, at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. Birmingham is one of the UK's foremost civic research universities, known as red-bricks. I teach in the History Department and on the American & Canadian Studies programme. Before coming to Birmingham in September 2016, I was the Sir Christopher Cox Junior Fellow at New College, Oxford. I completed my doctoral work at St Hugh's College and the Rothermere American Institute, Oxford, in 2014. |
