My research focuses on embodied experiences of religious identity, institutional practices, and structural and interpersonal violence. I have ongoing projects in early medieval Central Europe and the 19th century American West that explore intersections of identity, social institutions, and the body. I integrate skeletal analysis, material culture, and historical sources to address the interactions between human bodies and their broader social, cultural and physical environments.
