Research Interests

My research interests are twentieth-century United States history, Southern history, and agrarianism. I study the social and cultural history of African American farmers in the US South from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century, as well as histories of agrarian and rural radicalism.

I am currently revising my doctoral dissertation, which won a Mellon/ACLS dissertation completion fellowship, into a book-length study of the relationship between political power and agricultural landownership.
