I’m a Historian and Art Historian. Research focus: the Atlantic world (Haiti, the U.S. and Europe). After years of teaching I’m now a librarian. I ❤️ good books, good movies, good conversation, and good food.

I think we can all use a spot of nature’s beauty these days. The amaryllis bulb (affectionately called “the Onion”) is in spectacular bloom and there’ one more bud coming. #Wow

I've contributed an essay to this DEPENDENT issue:
"Archival Trajectories: Information Beyond Content"
It gives an overview of my PhD research that focuses on why we find what we find, i.e., the many recordkeeping and archival dependencies that underpin what is visible and accessible today.

📣The new DEPENDENT on "Archives" is out now! This edition explores archives not as neutral repositories, but as active, contested spaces where power, resistance, and memory intersect.

So pleased to have a role in this exciting project. Even happier to once more work with @nlwillson.bsky.social (sister from another mother). Our last confab, Rasanblaj Fanm, created a thriving community that remains in contact 1 year later. We have a pretty good track record!

I’m delighted to announce that I’ve been awarded a major AHRC Catalyst award for my project “Building a Black Nation: Haitian Dynasties of the (Long) Nineteenth Century”.

It was an honor to participate in the @unesco.org Memory of the World Caribbean Division Workshop in April. This is my small contribution to the conversation on Disaster Preparation. @fletcherdurant.bsky.social editing your dLOC handbook really helped me.
