Purpose of Visit
I am looking forward to reconnecting with scholars at CHES after thoroughly enjoying my visit last year. I am excited to share ideas about my current scholarship, learn from others working in the field, and explore opportunities for future collaboration. I am also particularly excited to attend the 2026 CHES Celebration of Scholarship and engage with the diverse and inspiring scholarship across the CHES community!
