About

I am a fifth-year student in the History PhD program who focuses on twentieth-century U.S. history. I study conservatism, far-right movements, Christian extremism, white supremacy, immigration restriction, and conspiracy theories. My MA thesis emphasized the construction and rhetoric of the white power movement over the late 19th and 20th centuries, through the examination of "Great Replacement"-themed conspiracy theories.

I am also a current intern at the California History-Social Science Project. For more on my work there, please check out our website.
