Research Interests

My primary interest is in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic periods. I have conducted research on the influences of Romanticism and the Revolution on Napoleon Bonaparte's early literary corpus. I have a secondary interest in the First World War in France, particularly involving conceptions of masculinity and intimacy on the front.


554A Pauli Murray Hall*
102 Emerson Dr., CB #3195
Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3195

*Though the History Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton’s intellectually dishonest historical and archival work promoted white supremacy. In contrast, Pauli Murray marshaled unassailable evidence and analysis in the service of racial and gender equality. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall in place of Hamilton Hall. An official request with the Chancellor is pending.
