Research Interests

I specialize in early modern military history, with a particular focus on North America and the Atlantic World.  I also teach courses on violence as well as the early English exploration of the Atlantic.   In addition, I work with archaeology projects, and am currently participating in a regional project in the mountains of northern Albania.  For more details on my research see the link to my web page below.
