- About Me
I am an advanced doctoral candidate at the University at Buffalo.
I study the intersections between gender and power in the early American Catholic Church. My dissertation identifies what I term “centralization controversy” as Catholic women’s religious communities in America attempted to create their own models of governance alongside of the institutional model of the American Catholic clergy.
