Hi!

 

I'm a writer and historian from Canada. I'm the author of the upcoming epic fantasy novel, Ashes of the Revolution (available in early 2026). Think Game of Thrones meets the French Revolution.

 

On the academic side, I teach part-time in the History Department at the University of Ottawa and I'm the project manager for the Nonreligion in a Complex Future Project, also at the University of Ottawa. I research the history of race and racism, and the history of atheism and secularization. I'm the author of Race in a Godless World: Atheism, Race, and Civilization, 1850-1914 (NYU Press and Manchester University Press, 2019), along with dozens of articles and book chapters. I'm also the co-host of the Beyond Atheism Podcast.

​

I did my PhD in modern history at the University of St Andrews (UK) and was a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Weber Centre for Advanced Cultural and Social Studies, University of Erfurt (Germany).
