Jonathan Beecher Field (he/him) was born in New England and educated in the Midwest. His first book, Errands into the Metropolis (UPNE, 2009), concerned strategies of dissent employed by religious dissidents in seventeenth-century New England. His second book, Town Hall Meetings and the Death of Deliberation (Minnesota, 2019), considers how simulacra of deliberative processes allow politicians, corporations, and university to contain and silence dissent. He is currently working on a book project considering material bases of settler innocence.
