Bio

Andrew is a doctoral candidate at William and Mary where he researches timekeeping and temporality in the long eighteenth century. His work seeks to understand how evolving timekeeping technologies and practices translated into processes of political economic development in Early America, with particular interests in early capitalist growth, public finance, and scientific knowledge production. Andrew received his BA and MA in History from the University of New Hampshire in 2017 and 2020 respectively, where his master’s work centered around the history of British science, eighteenth-century revolutions, and the history of capitalism. Before attending William and Mary, Andrew spent time working in immigration law.
