I am a lecturer in History and Literature at Harvard. I am currently working on a book project on object lessons in American culture, as well as several museum and material culture-based projects.
I completed my PhD in the History of American Civilization at Harvard in 2010. I also earned an MA in Early American Material Culture from Winterthur in 2004.
I have a wide range of research and teaching interests including early American and US social and cultural history, material and visual culture, museums, histories of gender, sexuality, childhood, and the family, and public history.
