Archival & Newspaper Research
Archival & Print Culture Research
Archival & Print Culture Research
Tools and repositories I use to trace early American newspapers, title changes, and publication gaps, particularly in eighteenth-century New England.
Library of Congress — Chronicling America
Dartmouth Library Digital Collections
State and regional library catalogs
Microfilm finding aids and title histories
Reading for Absence
Methods: Reading for Absence & Indirection
Much of my research focuses on what does not appear explicitly in the archive. I track indirect language, euphemism, repetition, and silence, particularly in advertisements and commercial notices—to understand how violence and exploitation were normalized through everyday print.
Writing, Interpretation & Public Translation
Interpretive Writing & Public Scholarship
I use writing as a method of inquiry, not just communication. This includes close reading, narrative synthesis, and public-facing explanation that remains accountable to historical complexity without flattening it.
Analytical writing
Editorial synthesis
Interview-based research
Public-facing research translation
Interdisciplinary Influences
My approach is informed by work in history, cultural theory, somatics, and public health discourse, particularly scholarship that attends to embodiment, care, and structural harm.
This toolkit reflects a living practice. It evolves alongside the questions I ask and the archives I encounter.
