About

I am a historian of the modern United States. My dissertation focuses on organized white supremacy in the mid-to-late-twentieth-century U.S. West.  My research interests include conservatism, far-right movements, Christian extremism, race and racism, eugenics, immigration restriction, and conspiracy theories. I am also a current graduate intern at the California History-Social Science Project. For more on my work there, please check out our website.
