Biography

I graduated from Yale University in 2009 with a B.A. in History. I wrote my senior thesis about a small group of left-wing lawyers who defended anarchists in sedition trials during World War I, and spent a year after graduation working for Professor Beverly Gage on her upcoming biography of former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. I am interested in the history of political responses to Communism in the 20th century, and next year I will pursue an MPhil in Historical Studies, focusing on the difference between British and American attitudes towards domestic Communist movements.
