Hello. I am a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Minnesota, where I am working on a dissertation about various types of captivity in the northeastern borderlands from 1630-1763. I discuss the creation of multiple intersecting captive trade networks and talk about how various indigenous and European captors practiced a politics of reproduction where they attempted to control access to and use of captive bodies for various social, economic, and political purposes. I also teach as an adjunct at University of Wisconsin-Stout and serve as the assistant editor of the Journal of Early Modern History.
