The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC) and Montgomery Parks of southern Maryland utilizes archaeological research as one of many techniques to bring to life the narrative of Josiah Henson the individual,...
Masculine Mis/apprehensions: Race, Place, and Gender at Harvard’s Colonial Indian College (2016)
This paper considers intersecting identities of gender, race, religion, age, and status in early America, centering on the colonial Harvard Indian College—a highly charged masculine setting in the 17th-century Massachusetts Bay Colony. Institutional structures and the material culture of daily life constrained masculinity for Native American and English members of the early Harvard community while establishing education as a trope of patriarchal power. Young men adopted intensely religious lives...

The Material and Symbolic Production of Insanity at the Royal Edinburgh Asylum, 1813-1900 (2017)
The Royal Edinburgh Asylum was one of the leading institutions in psychiatric research and treatment in 19th-century Scotland and one of the first to institute programs of moral management.

My paper will examine how the material practices of 19th-century institutions emerged from...

At this moment in time, when historical archaeology perched on the precipice of processual irrelevance, Chuck Orser published his "The Material Basis of...

Throughout this process, migrants seek to both highlight their presence as non-citizens and blend in with the citizen...
