- Bio: I am a historian of modern North Africa and Europe, focusing on the intersections among environment, colonialism, urbanism, and technology. My work examines environmental knowledge and spatial perceptions, analyzing how these abstract notions translate into attempts to remake built and natural environments. In addition to my work in French colonial history, I also have backgrounds in Russian and Central Asian history, as well as an interest in the environmental history of the American West. My current book project, expanding on my doctoral dissertation, examines French efforts to remake the urban and rural landscapes of its North African colonies through the implementation of large-scale development projects. For this project, have conducted archival and field work across France and the Maghreb. As a historian with many years of secondary teaching experience in both public and private school settings, I teach courses and oversee candidates in the department's social studies teacher preparation program. I'm also happy to work with students on projects related to environmental history, colonialism, or the Mediterranean World.
