Research Interests

I’m a historian of the United States focused on Indigenous dispossession and US state formation primarily in the nineteenth century American West. I also work in the digital humanities, mainly using GIS to examine the history of US public lands. In collaboration with journalists, I've written about the history of US universities, too.
