About
I'm a historian of American religion that focuses on Protestant evangelicals in America. My current book project, "The Bible Class Teacher: Piety and Politics in the Age of Fundamentalism," is a microhistory that uses the life of a single Sunday school teacher form Chicago to reinterpret the rise of Protestant fundamentalism at the turn of the twentieth century. In my role as Assistant Director of the Newberry Library's Scholl Center, I design digital exhibits and curricular materials for research and classroom use.
