- About Me
I’m currently an assistant professor in History at Westminster College, a liberal arts institution in Salt Lake City, Utah. I teach broadly, including courses on Modern Europe, Modern World, East Asia, the Holocaust, Film and Memory, and Truth and Reconciliation.
My research interests center on questions of sacred space and religion in socialism. My current book project explores the relationship of men and women religious to Catholic communities and the secular state in socialist East Germany. I defended my dissertation at UMass Amherst in 2017.
My next project focuses on religion and ecology in Hungary.
