About
I'm originally from Manhattan, and earned my BA in history and English from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. After pursuing undergraduate work on food history during the early American Republic, I wrote a master's at UT on starvation and Anglo-Indian foodways in colonial Virginia.
For my dissertation I have returned to the later colonial period, carrying my interest in starvation with me as I use white soldiers' interactions with food as a baseline for discussing the food experiences of Native Americans, free blacks, and slaves during and after the American Revolution.
I'm particularly interested in food diplomacy, starvation, and food and masculinity, as well as teaching, pedagogy, and technology in the classroom.
