RESEARCH INTERESTS:
I am an historian of modern Europe with a particular interest in how expansionist and colonialist policies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries shaped both European and non-European societies. My first book, An Empire Divided, published by Oxford University Press, examines how conflict between religious missionaries and a host of anticlerical critics defined French colonial policies and “civilizing” ideologies in the empire, especially in Indochina, Madagascar, and Polynesia. I am currently working on a second book, entitled “The Moral Geography of Empire: Violence, Suffering, and European Colonial Rule, 1880-1940,” that explores how Europeans understood, responded to, and often ignored humanitarian crises caused or exacerbated by colonialism.
