I write about social movements, power, and political violence.

I am the author of Nixon’s War at Home: The FBI, Leftist Guerrillas, and the Origins of Counterterrorism  (University of North Carolina Press, 2021) and co-editor of, Science for the People: Documents from America’s Movement of Radical Scientists (University of Massachusetts Press, 2018). My writing has appeared in academic journals such as The Sixties and Radical History Review as well as in popular outlets, including Jacobin  and the Washington Post. I speak about my research regularly in various venues.

I’m Assistant Professor of Post-World War II U.S. History at Western Washington University, and I hold a PhD in history from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (2016).

I live in Bellingham, Washington, USA, on the traditional territory of the Lummi and Nooksack peoples. I use he/him pronouns. Thank you for exploring my website.
