研究现状:
My current research project, Planting Bivalves: Oystering and the Transformation of the Delaware Bay, examines the region’s oyster industry as it was influenced by America’s rapidly expanding market economy during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and how this context put in motion forces that shaped the cultural and economic temperament of the area and transformed the environment of the bay—both in terms of biological dynamics and human perception. 我的另一个项目， Portraying Maritime Work and Landscape: Photography and the Shaping of the Delaware Bay’s Environmental Identity, looks at the role of eight photographers and syndicated photographic news services in creating an image that was a mix of community priorities, larger economic and governmental influence, and outside social commentary.
背景:
My research, teaching, public programming, and civic engagement focus on the history of America’s built environments and landscapes, American environmental history, American maritime history, and the wider field of material culture studies. 我也专攻 in 公共历史 and have taught courses in 保护历史古迹, maritime preservation, documentation methods, and cultural resource management and through this work have conducted numerous field schools and outreach projects. My work in these areas has taken place in the Middle Atlantic, New England, Chesapeake and Great Lakes regions, and in Canada and the Pacific Islands. I am a graduate of the Munson Institute of American Maritime Studies and a former member of the Board of Directors of the Vernacular Architecture Forum and I currently co-edit 楼宇及土地capes: The Journal of the Vernacular Architecture Forum. I have worked extensively with a variety of museums, government agencies and environmental organizations, including the Smithsonian Institution and the National Park Service. I serve as Historian-in-Residence at the Bayshore Center in Port Norris, New Jersey and I am a member of the New Jersey State Review Board for Historic Sites.
