Welcome!
This site introduces my research on early modern Anglo-American law and the English Atlantic world.
I am currently an assistant professor at Sir Wilfrid Laurier University writing on British Atlantic history. My research focuses on law and its relationship to commerce, empire and constitutionalism.
On these pages you will also find an e-text of Richard Ligon’s History of Barbados, one of the earliest English texts on the Caribbean. I edited this text for teaching and it is now in the public domain.
