Talking In The Library

In our first episode, we'll hear from Dr. Michael Goode an assistant professor of early American history at Utah Valley University. Michael is no stranger to the Library Company: in fact, his book project, “A Colonizing Peace: The Quaker Struggle for Gospel Order in Early America,” emerged during his time here as a Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fellow. In a new co-edited volume published by Brill, The Specter of Peace: Rethinking Violence and Power in the Colonial Atlantic (Brill, 2018), Michael offers a window into his thinking about the role of peace-making in colonial America.
