I have broad research interests, but focus on two main areas: The British Empire in the long eighteenth century, with a current focus on Revolutionary North America, and public history.

Dishonored Americans: The Political Death of Loyalists, my first monograph, is a cultural history of the Loyalist experience in the American Revolution and will be published by the University of Virginia Press this Fall.

I am also the project director of Loyalist Migrations, a partnership with the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada.

I have recently published on the the naval conflict on the Great Lakes in the War of 1812 in the Journal of Military History.  I co-edited (with Kevin Kee), Seeing the Past with Computers (University of Michigan Press, 2019) which explores the use of computer vision and augmented reality for historical research and public engagement.
