The crisis that engulfed the Atlantic world in the late eighteenth century inspired British Americans, Indigenous nations, enslaved Africans and African Americans, Europeans, and other peoples to question their loyalties, challenge authority, seek freedom, and resist revolutionary change. The revolutionary era upended their lives in ways they could have never imagined. I am the creator, writer, and narrator of this series. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ba250943917ee401d75b626/1616210337059-XGF5KWMJUJ9RKRINDLG8/podcast_4.jpg Podcasts - Conversations at the Washington Library is the premier podcast about George Washington and his Early American world.

I’ve been fortunate to speak to scholarly and public audiences in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and France.
