I broadly consider myself a historian of social movements, particularly their rise, development and diffusion in France and across the eighteenth-century Atlantic World. My
first book, Non-Violence and the French Revolution: Political Demonstrations in Paris, 1787-1795 (Cambridge University Press, 2015) examines the development of protest marches in the French capital and the broader prevalence of physically nonviolent, collaborative strategies for achieving revolutionary change. Friends of Freedom: The Rise of Social
Movements in the Age of Atlantic Revolutions (Cambridge University Press, 2022, winner of the Pacific Coast Conference on British Studies Book Award) explores international
connections across America, Britain, Ireland, France, and Haiti ca. 1765-1800 and the extent to which the eighteenth century鈥檚 greatest revolutionary movements functioned as part of a common pattern. Additionally, I compiled a primary source collection, The French Revolution: A Document History (Bloomsbury, 2021), seeking to capture and relate the passion and possibilities of the era. My next book The People鈥檚 Revolution of 1789 (under contract with Cornell University Press), is the first study to bring together the Parisian, provincial, and colonial popular movements of that momentous year.
