If you want to improve your academic writing in history or other disciplines, check out my online writing course!

My history courses emphasize equipping students to think, converse, and write as historians: to consider important historical trends, participate in careful analysis of texts and events, and to engage with key questions. I believe students at all levels can fruitfully engage primary sources and can analyze—and join in—scholarly debates about important issues.

Currently, I am an adjunct instructor of history at the University of North Alabama. Previously, I served at Vanderbilt University in several roles, including as Research Assistant Professor of History. In the longer past, I was a history and literature instructor at a secondary school.

My teaching experience includes a wide variety of courses related to European history, Western civilization, religious history, and the history of print.

Courses taught include:

• University of North Alabama
  • Printing and Bookmaking to c.1800 (graduate seminar, online).
  • The Tudors (graduate seminar, online).
  • Independent Research (graduate, online).
  • History of England to 1688 (undergraduate, online).
  • The English Reformation (graduate and undergraduate, online).
• Vanderbilt University
  • Witchcraft, Supernatural Phenomena, and Print Culture in Early Modern England, 1558-1650 (writing-intensive undergraduate seminar).
