I am a historian of nineteenth-century American specializing in antislavery politics and the origins of the Civil War and Reconstruction. I received my Ph.D. from the CUNY Graduate Center in 2016 under the advisement of James Oakes, with help from Eric Foner, David Waldstreicher, Andrew Robertson, and Richard Bernstein. My work, broadly speaking, focuses on the “antislavery origins” of the sectional crisis, abolition, and federal Reconstruction policy.

My current book project, Neither a Slave nor a King: The Antislavery Project and the Origins of the Civil War, challenges the predominant view of antislavery politics as fundamentally conservative on slavery and the rights of African-Americans. A political history, the book uses the chief platform of antislavery politics - a constitutional program to ground federal policy in the legal presumption of freedom – to interrogate the relationship between radicals and moderates within the “broad” antislavery movement, and to understand the movement’s influence as a whole on the structure of national politics and the progress of the sectional crisis.
Focusing on the institutional side of American antislavery, I show how political abolitionists pushed antislavery politicians to embrace radical policies for universal abolition and black equality, changing the terms of slavery debate in national politics, even as those same politicians translated radical impulses into a viable political project with institutional clout and broad public support. I argue that it was this intra-movement dynamism that made the Republican Party such a potent threat to slaveowners in the 1850s. Working within the confines of the existing constitutional order, Lincoln’s party instituted a dramatic break from contemporary thought and policy on federal power, slavery, and African-American rights.

Among other things, the book shows how ideas and policies on the political margins can move to the center of American politics, and how radicals have worked within liberal democracy to reform liberal institutions.
The animating principle in my teaching philosophy is the idea that ability is elastic, that one’s aptitude is constantly stretched by changes in one’s environment and repertoire of ideas. My overarching motivation as a teacher is to impart this theory of growth to students, not just through the knowledge I convey, but through the example I set as a humanist myself – someone who can show students the quiet value of continuous moral and intellectual improvement. Internalizing this belief is, I believe, the rite of passage to the life of the mind.
The growth theory of education in turn shapes my chief objective as a history teacher: to help nurture a morally sound and informed citizenry, certainly of the United States, but also of the world. I teach students that, while the United States is at any given moment either more or less democratic or more or less oligarchic, its structure remains that of a republic – a representative democracy – that demands our active participation as citizens.

In practical terms, in a US History classroom, my commitment to humanism and citizenship is refracted through helping students master content and think critically about America’s past, to develop a healthy skepticism for navigating the Syclla of idealism and the Charybdis of cynicism – all essential features of democratic deliberation, to say nothing of the good life.

A central feature of my academic career has been organizing conferences and discussions that foster dialogue between social and cultural historians of abolitionism on the one hand, and political and legal historians of antislavery on the other. 2014’s “Antislavery Bulwark” conference, which I co-organized with John Stauffer and James Oakes, gathered top scholars in the field for a two-day discussion of the antislavery origins of the Civil War. That discussion continued with my AHA roundtable on antislavery politics in early 2015; the “Emancipations, Reconstructions, and Revolutions” conference, on African-American politics in the “long nineteenth century,” in early 2017; and last fall’s “Disunion in Civil War America: Parallels for Today?” conference at Yale, on the political crisis of the 1850s, which I co-organized with David Blight and James Oakes. I’ve discussed the antislavery project at international conferences, including at Leiden and Hull universities, explaining the peculiarities of antebellum American federalism to non-U.S. scholars. Altogether, these conferences embody my professional mission of incorporating scholars’ specialized findings into a larger, more cohesive narrative about nineteenth-century American politics and reform.
