I was drawn to academia by way of the classroom, in large part because of inspirational history professors during my undergraduate years. Teaching remains at the heart of my identity as a historian. My teaching is driven by a commitment to two principles: historical inclusivity and expansive perspectives. By the time students leave my classroom at the end of any semester, I hope that they have developed an understanding of history that embodies these principles, whether at the introductory undergraduate, advanced undergraduate, or graduate level.
