Research Interests
I study the working-class and labor history of North America, with a focus on urban disasters, working-class organizations, and migration. My dissertation, tentatively titled "When the State Blows Away," is on the immediate aftermaths of the Salem, Massachusetts, Fire of 1914 and Halifax, Nova Scotia, Explosion of 1917.
