I am a philosopher and biographer working on women who rethought the world, with a focus on intellectual history, feminist thought, and public engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor of Philosophy at Colby College in Waterville, Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My work spans academic research, biography, and public writing. Most recently, I am the author of Lydia Maria Child: A Radical American Life<\/a><\/em>. My writing and commentary have appeared in both scholarly and public-facing venues, including essays, reviews, podcasts, and interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have received research support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, the German-American Exchange Service, and the American Academy in Berlin. In 2025, I was a German Fulbright Fellow at Freie Universit\u00e4t Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026-27, I will be a Visiting Scholar with the Transcendentalism Initiative at Harvard University. I am currently developing a new book project on women’s pacifist thought in the interwar years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I live in Maine with my husband, the historian James Johnson. The best thing I did on my last sabbatical was to take trapeze lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
