Research Background

I am an historical archaeologist with research interests ranging from the 17th through the 21st centuries. My current book project examines self-fashioning and civic activism at two sites associated with Black women: The Phyllis Wheatley Home for Girls in Chicago and the Pauli Murray Family home in Durham, NC. I spend a lot of time thinking about what we're doing when we do archaeology.

Education
