Expertise
My ongoing doctoral studies at a major private research university are in American Religious History. There are already plenty of experts here who can answer questions on politcal, legal, and military history; I am available to answer questions on religious history. Some examples come to mind: How have American preferences for democracy over other forms of organization affected American religious life? How did the churches react to the approaching Civil War?
Experience
At my current institution I have served three terms as a Teaching Fellow, helping a professor deliver course material. I currently teach adjunctively at Belmont University.
