An assistant professor of American religious history, director of the E. Morris and Leone Sider Institute for Anabaptist, Pietist, and Wesleyan Studies, and director of archives at Messiah University. In his scholarship, Devin pursues two distinct research agendas. As a denominational historian of the Brethren in Christ Church, he draws on his training in cultural and religious history to understand how this small religious community has changed over time. As a public historian of American religion, he studies how predominantly Christian communities construct, commemorate, and contest the past in public through historical societies, heritage sites, museums, monuments, archives, and other institutions of public memory.
