Teaching

Independent Study
I routinely supervise student notes and research projects on topics most often related to legal history, property law, and rural studies.
I also supervise undergraduate honors theses and serve on graduate student dissertation committees.
Archives
The pandemic forced many historians to utilize online archives, and I was inspired to collect many of those resources here. This page will remain available but is not regularly updated as of February 2022.
