Incredibly proud of this recognition by my peers. Finalist for the biennial St. Andrew's book award from the ESEH and RCC, both communities that matter deeply to me.

I ADORE teaching this world history of food class. This is the kind of big picture, non-majors class that it feels I was built for.

If you have not found Roberta Magnusson's work yet, it may be of interest, especially Water Technology in the Middle Ages--she goes later than I do!

So I've written a book! Waterscapes is about how impactful our need for water is on the environment and people. It's also about the ways in which infrastructure projects can impact place for good or bad.
