I’m a global historian of Europe and decolonization. As a PhD candidate at the University of California, Berkeley, I teach and write about anticolonial movements and transnational solidarities in the 20th century.

My dissertation, One Struggle: A Global History of the Irish Republican Movement, 1956-1994, explores how Irish republicans joined forces with Third World liberation movements to wage war against British imperialism for decades after the official “end of empire.” I’m especially interested in the role that solidarity activists played in facilitating military and diplomatic ties between Irish, Palestinian, and South African revolutionaries.

My research interests are informed by my experiences as a journalist and activist. Before coming to Berkeley, I worked with the Chicago Innocence Center, Progress Michigan, and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights to challenge human rights violations from the Flint Water Crisis to the US-Mexico border.

My writing has appeared in the Dublin Review of Books, Hong Kong Review of Books, and LSE Review of Books. I’ve also written for popular media including Truthout, Common Dreams, AlterNet, and Black Agenda Report.

I hold a BSc from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism and an MSt from Oxford University in modern British and European history.
