- About Me
I am a DPhil candidate at the University of Oxford broadly interested in transnational women’s activist networks. My thesis examines the emergence and development of women’s suffrage networks across the transpacific in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from an American vantage point, taking care to trace the ways in which changing ideas over empire and race influenced these processes.
I am also interested in the way the past is portrayed on film. This has led me to host the podcast Flashback: American Historians on Movies, which features conversations with historians about movies that relate to their research. Moving away from nitpicking over inaccuracies, Flashback instead aims to consider each film as a work of history in its own right and share with audiences how historians approach popular interpretations of the past.
