Research Interests

My interest is in early-twentieth-century U.S. religious history, with a focus on literary censorship. I plan to further research 1920s anti-vice organizations and their lasting impact on legislation and culture. 

Why I Chose Baylor

I chose Baylor because of its rich history of interweaving scholarship and faith. Furthermore, I hope to learn from the university’s dedicated faculty.
