About

I am an Assistant Professor of African American History at Luther College in the Africana Studies and History Departments. I graduated with a PhD from Michigan State University in 2010 and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Kentucky from 2010-2012. My research and teaching interests are black thought in the interwar era, black internationalism, black women’s history, the global anti-apartheid movement, and LGBT history.
