I am a retired curator in the Rare Books Collection, Rare and Distinctive Collections (RaD), CU Boulder Libraries and now teach for CU Boulder’s and the History Department. I specialize in late medieval and early modern history and art history, with teaching and research interests centered on topics in visual and religious material culture and in the history of science and medicine. My interest in European and North American archaeology developed out of my MA research in Neolithic Greece centered on the region of Boeotia and my years working as a Graduate Assistant in Anthropology at the CU Museum of Natural History.
