Associate Professor of History
Miami University
My research and teaching interest is Modern European History, primarily 19th century Germany. Much of my research revolves around issues of political economy, with special reference to the subjects of liberalism, rural politics and economy, the Industrial Revolution and the sugar industry. In addition to ongoing articles and reviews, I am working on two book-length manuscripts, the first a biography of the agrarian politician Diederich Hahn, and the second a study of the relationship between liberalism and the sugar industry.
