Research

My scholarship lies at the intersection of international relations, history, and political theory. Specifically, I am interested in the influence that ideas–and, more specifically, the intellectuals who wield ideas–can have on foreign policy. Drawing upon my previous training, I approach this agenda with the perspective and tools of a historian.

This research has generated several articles in top journals and chapters in edited volumes.

I have spent the better part of a decade on the research and writing of my book: England’s Cross of Gold: Keynes, Churchill, and the Governance of Economic Beliefs. This book is being published by Cornell University Press. It is the first in what I plan to be a trilogy that rethinks the “great transformation” of the global economic order across the first half of the twentieth century.

In addition to my own research projects, I have worked a good deal on “Historical IPE.”
