About Me

I am a medieval historian who, by choice and by chance, is a polyglot world history professor at a small Methodist school in south central Tennessee. I am also the advisor to our campus GSA, and an advocate for students of color, first generation and low-income students, our LGBT+ students, and adjuncts.
