Bio

Elliot received his BA from the George Washington University in history and political science in 2018, and his MA in history from William & Mary in 2020. He is broadly interested in the changes to popular ideas about political economy that occurred during the Age of Revolutions. He is currently working on his dissertation which examines how local governments in the early republic served as important institutions in forming the American state. His research has been supported by the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium, the Massachusetts Historical Society, and the Program in Early American Economy and Society at the Library Company of Philadelphia. His research has been featured in the Historians and their Histories podcast produced by the Massachusetts Historical Society.

Elliot has taught classes on early capitalism, the Age of Revolutions, and inequalities in the American Revolutionary era and has served as an instructor for the National Institute of American History and Democracy at William & Mary. He has taught specifically about the connections between histories of the American Revolution, current events, and popular culture with a particular focus on the use and impact of historically-themed video games.
