Welcome
Welcome to my digital home. I study early modern history through a mixture of digital, quantitative, and cultural historical methods. I focus specifically on early modern diplomacy and Christian-Muslim interactions. My book manuscript examines the place of the French alliance with the Ottoman Empire in its broader political context. I am also building a database of the French rulers’ diplomatic correspondence from 1494 to 1715 to analyze French foreign policy on a grand scale. In these pursuits, I am interested in the use of digital tools to analyze and visualize historical data. I teach courses in history, data analytics, and the digital humanities at Queens University of Charlotte.
