About Me
I am a historian of American governance. Much of my work focuses on state-built infrastructure systems and the questions they reveal about race, class, community, and the nature of democratic power in the United States. My teaching and research are informed by legal, political, economic, and social history, and I am currently working on two book projects. The first is a history of modern American infrastructural development that explores how officials use legal, fiscal, and physical technologies of governance to fasten political priorities in place across space and time. The second explores the shared spatial, technological, and infrastructural history of American military bases and prisons.
