My research focuses on international relations and the formation of foreign policy in the modern period. I am fascinated by the way factors such as economic, political, social, and cultural domestic trends affect individual actors and create change. Presently, I am working on the influence of Stephen Girard on the creation of economic instruments and institutions during the Revolutionary and early national period.
Teaching is usually a facet of my research. I teach courses in American foreign policy, the American style of war, including Vietnam and Iraq, the modern Middle East, and world history. I am strongly committed to critical thinking, analysis, and writing.
