研究兴趣

My reSearch interests involve the early modern Atlantic world, particularly the political history of the eighteenth-century British Empire, 尤其是南部殖民地.

我的第一本书， A Rule of Law: Elite Political Authority and the Coming of the Revolution in the 南卡罗来纳 Lowcountry, 1763-1776 (布里尔, 2014), offers a fresh examination of how 南卡罗来纳 planters and merchants - the wealthiest in the thirteen colonies - held an iron grip on political power in the province. 他们的权威, rooted in control of the colonial legislature's power to make law, 扩展到地方政府, 法院, 种植园, 和英国国教, areas that previous political studies have not thoroughly considered. These elite planters and merchants, who were conservative by nature and fiercely guarded their control of provincial government, led the province into the American Revolution in defense of the order they had established in the colonial period.

Future projects include a new study of Charleston, 南卡罗来纳, during the British occupation of 1780-1782; a study of the royal governors in the southern colonies; and further development of the Lutheran philosophy of history.
