About
I'm a historian of the United States and the world. At WWU, my courses include America Since 1865; History of the Pacific Northwest; US & International Terrorism; and The United States in the Cold War.
My book, Nixon’s War at Home: The FBI, Leftist Guerrillas, and the Origins of Counterterrorism, was published in September 2021 with University of North Carolina Press (Justice, Power, and Politics series). I also co-edited, Science for the People: Documents from America’s Movement of Radical Scientists (University of Massachusetts Press, 2018). My writing has appeared in Jacobin, Washington Post, Radical History Review, and The Sixties.
I hold a PhD (2016) and MA (2011) in History from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and a BA in History (magna cum laude, 2008) from the University of Southern Maine.
