Welcome!
I hope this site provides a helpful introduction to my work as a scholar and teacher. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at Miami University (Oxford, Ohio). I earned a B.A. in anthropology from Radford University (Radford, Virginia) in 2001 and a Ph.D. in anthropology from Michigan State University (East Lansing, Michigan) in 2007. Check out my Curriculum Vitae for more details.
As a professor at Miami, I teach and mentor students in cultural and linguistic anthropology, ethnography, religion, American communities, and transnationalism. As a scholar, I work primarily in the anthropology of global Christianity, the comparative anthropology of religion, and the history and culture of the United States. My ethnographic fieldwork explores the creative lives of American evangelical and fundamentalist communities.
