Time for a belated introduction!

I'm a medievalist, teaching graduate Medieval Latin courses in the DC area and paleography virtually and IRL (e.g. for HMML and in workshops).

I'm currently working on an open-access Latin paleography textbook and also writing a novel about nuns and archaeologists. I have high hopes that procrastinating on one of those projects will result in finishing the other, or vice-versa.

Since 2010, most of my work in DC has been in historic preservation, with a focus on the architecture and development of DC's neighborhoods. A lot of my energy over in the other place was devoted to local DC matters—yelling about statehood, yelling at District agencies, following weather and traffic, etc. I expect I will remain there for those purposes as long as those functions continue.
