I joined the Department of Humanities at
Villanova University in August 2007 after completing my Ph.D. at the
University of Virginia in 2006 and holding a visiting position at The
College of William & Mary in Spring 2007. I am an architectural
historian and specialize in nineteenth and twentieth-century
American architecture.
As a member of an interdisciplinary department concerned about
larger questions of the human person, I use architecture as a
means to investigate the role of religion in higher education.
I am particularly concerned about the intersection of
architecture, science, and religion.
