About Me

My research investigates the impact of kinship, social and cultural networks, gender, and environment on wider patterns of premodern social, cultural, and political change. I have particular interests in how power was conveyed through botanical knowledge, gardens, and landscapes.

Additionally, I am an investigator for Nano-history, a network-mapping platform now in beta-testing, which allows for visualizations of human networks in the past. Check it out at http://www.nanohistory.org.
