Biography
My research focuses on the Vietnam War and the Americans who served, were exempted from service, and/or protested the war, with a concentration on conscientious objectors. I am interested in the way in which everyday interactions, as well as the particular historical and political context of the era, impacted the decision-making of these actors. My project investigates questions concerning conscience, activism, and involvement with the state through the draft.
