Research Interests
I am currently writing a book charting how the newly minted concept of musical "harmony" was leveraged in public debates on colonization, religion, and gender in Britain circa 1800 (provisionally titled Empire of Harmony: Modulation, Science, and Power in Georgian England).
I also teach an environmentally themed class at Rachel Carson College. I'm particularly interested in the political and legal mechanisms that underpin environmentalist progress and obstructionism in California.
