Check out my recent open-access article in _Victorians_, which considers how to design an #inclusive survey for non-majors. By centering "amateur" undergrad knowledges, we can rethink Brit lit surveys from below.

In this November-December substack post, I look at how Trump's anti-asylum policies are weakening his administration's ability to recruit foreign armed actors if the United States invades Venezuela. There will be more monthly IR substack pieces in 2026!

Can vouch for the incredibly low cost of living and great department folks as a Binghamton English PhD. A stipend increase is exciting news on top of that.
if you’ve got strong undergrads who are interested in doing phds in early modern, consider Binghamton English! Our stipends have just radically increased + Bing is a very low cost of living area, and tho not traditionally a strong hub for early modern, our dept is pretty stacked right now +

How does Tren de Aragua Respond to America’s Military Strikes?
Eight years ago, I wrote an op-ed on how the (first) Trump Administration was considering whether or not to designate Mara Salvatrucha (commonly known as MS-13) a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).
