TEACHING
I offer undergraduate and graduate courses on nineteenth-century United States history, political economy and finance, and the history of race and slavery. My classes help students develop the ability to view the world through the perspectives of historical actors, understanding their worldview. I am especially interested in using material culture and interdisciplinary readings that combine history and archaeology. In my graduate courses, I incorporate professionalization, including introducing students to the history of the profession and helping them see how they can apply course material to their own classrooms. I am open to working with graduate students interested in topics related to the Early Republic of the United States and the history of money and finance.
RESEARCH
As a historian of the early United States with interests in political economy, slavery, labor, politics, and science, my research looks to understand, in the simplest terms, just how much work went into the making of American political economy. My book manuscript, Minting America: Labor and the Political Economy of Money in the Early United States, is a history of coinage in the antebellum United States鈥攚ho made it, how it attained value, and why its form mattered to early national capitalism.
My work has appeared in the Journal of the Early Republic, and I have spoken at many academic and public events, from panels at the Organization of American Historians to the US Treasury Department and NPR. My research has received support from Harvard University, the Massachusetts Historical Society, The Library Company of Philadelphia, Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian鈥檚 National Museum of American History, the American Philosophical Society, and the American Antiquarian Society.
