Historian. Writer. Environmentalist.

I am an Adjunct Instructor of History and Affiliate Member of the Center for Great Lakes and Watershed Studies (CGLWS) at Bowling Green State University. As an environmental historian of North America, my work revolves around a central question: how was nature managed? Thus, I am primarily interested in how the changing ecological conditions of the Great Lakes–anthropogenic pollution, biodiversity loss, climate change, and habitat destruction–informed and influenced international agreements between the United States and Canada in the late twentieth century. Amid the novel dynamics of the Anthropocene, these histories illuminate the dangers of complacency in our age of crisis.
