For information about my scholarship, see my cv and this entry in The Biographical Dictionary of Social And Cultural Anthropology.

As part of my broader commitment to "telling the truth about history," I advocate the redesign of the U.S. twenty-dollar bill, so that the words "ANDREW JACKSON WAS AN INDIAN KILLER" are added next to Jackson's portrait. This proposal seeks to make more visible Jackson's responsibility for the mass death of Native Americans; it thus rejects the route of simply removing what is controversial from the public sphere.
