Areas of Interest:

• 19th and 20th cen. America
• US Settler colonialism/imperialism
• African American history

My work focuses on the intersections of race, region, and colonialism in the North American West in the 19th and 20th centuries. My dissertation research, presently titled "Forty Years within the Veil: The New Black Towns of the Rocky Mountain West from Greater Reconstruction to the Great Migration" examines African American communities in Pueblo, CO, Cheyenne, WY, and Pocatello, ID. My first book, Black Montana: Settler Colonialism and the Erosion of the Racial Frontier, 1877-1930, was revised from my MA thesis at Montana State University and published in 2021 by the University of Nebraska Press.
