... is happy to chat with anyone at my drop-in appointments. More information on my website. I study & teach socio-cultural exchanges & interactions during the Middle Ages all around the Mediterranean basin and across Europe. My research focuses on the East Roman Empire (see: free e-book from Brill on a ninth-century chronography as a manifesto for revolt against the emperor). My lectures (Publish Your Data!) and writing (Historical Practice in the Era of Digital History) address practices & methods of history. My collaborations with colleagues & students originate in the Travelers Lab (e.g. see: on Constantinople as (Pixelated) Palimpsest with project here and a--free to reuse!--three-week bilingual AP World History unit). Please visit, reach out, connect, and collaborate!
