Overview
Biography
I am a historian of early modern cultural and religious history in global contexts. My current research examines the movement, migration and sense of confessional belonging in non-conformist religious communities such as the Mennonites and Hutterites in the early modern world as they faced exile, resettled and migrated, and constructed distinct confessional, emotional, and cultural identities.
