Fields of interest

Colonial American History, African-American History, Southern History

Most of my research and publications have been on African-American and southern History. My work particularly focuses on the relationship between Africans, Native Americans and Europeans in eastern North Carolina during the colonial and antebellum periods. But I also do research and write on all periods of eastern North Carolina’s history.

Courses taught

Surveys in U.S., African-American, Southern, and Native American History. I teach upper-level courses in the African Diaspora, colonial slavery and relations between Indians Blacks and whites. I also direct M.A. and Ph.D. students in African-American History.
