- About Me
I’m have PhD in African History from Boston University. I’m originally from Montana and will always call it home. I graduated from the University of Montana in 2010 with BAs in philosophy and political science. My current research centers on local and international responses to population growth in Africa from both historical and contemporary perspectives.
