Professor, author, horse trainer. In my research, I specialize in science, literature, and political theory across Europe and the British empire during the 18th and 19th centuries.
Duke English taught me the joys of a rigorous challenge and how to tell the difference between a good idea and an easy one. Additionally, the faculty and staff who made that possible for me and many, many others modelled a kindness and generosity that will always set the gold standard in my mind for what it means to be part of a collective endeavor.
