Biography
My primary research interests revolve around Liberian international and military relations. In particular, I seek to examine the relationship between Liberian and U.S. military forces and the Firestone Rubber Company during the early 20th century. Other minor research interests of mine include transnational environmental history, in particularly the influence of militaries and warfare on the environment, and the history of material culture in Central and East Africa.
