Collaboration details

I hold a Ph.D. in History (2010) and a C.A.S. in Higher Education Leadership: Student Development in Higher Education (2012) from the University of Maine. My teaching experience is broad and includes f2f, online and hybrid courses in history, sociology and Maine studies. My research interests are equally diverse but generally fall into three categories: (1) research on immigrants and refugees in the late 20th and early 21st centuries (2) research on the environment, particularly transnational issues in the northeastern U.S. and Atlantic Canada and (3) research relating to online scholarly community building in the 21st. century. I am interested in collaborative projects of all sizes and scopes. I can offer experience gained from teaching upper and lower level classes in multiple departments at the university and community college level. I can also offer wide ranging humanities and social science research experience and a passion for the digital humanities.
