Please peruse the topics below for a sampling of the digital or creative projects and historical research I am currently working on or have been apart of in the past.

Podcast

I host, produce, and edit a podcast about historical mishaps, mistakes and bad luck in history. (currently on hiatus)

Book Project

My current book project research examines the history of Indigenous sovereignty, disease, and animals in twentieth-century Montana and Yellowstone borderlands. My research integrates methods and concepts from Critical Indigenous Studies, environmental history, borderlands studies, and animal studies.
