His research on American religious history has focused on its emotional components, instances of religious violence, and the interwovenness of political, social, and religious ideologies. His research since 2000 increasingly has focused on integrating spatial technologies (such as GIS) into the humanities, developing an interdisciplinary approach to the study of space and place, and theorizing ways in which the emergent digital humanities can advance the study of religion and culture when framed by spatial considerations.
