Current Research
My research often entails collaboration. In 2012, I co-organized an international and interdisciplinary conference, Early Modern Migrations: Exiles, Expulsion, and Religious Refugees 1400-1700. http://migrations.crrs.ca/ . In conjunction with this conference, I worked closely with the Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies and Poculi Ludique Societas to produce a full-scale production of Richard Daborne’s A Christian Turn’d Turk (1612). http://www.crrs.ca/events/conferences/migrations/performances/a-christian-turnd-turk/  

This coming October, I will be co-chairing a faculty symposium at the Newberry Library, Chicago: Symposium on the English and Dutch in the Early Modern World http://www.newberry.org/10192012-symposium-english-and-dutch-early-modern-world
