I am a historian of U.S. medicine, science, and health. My first book, Monstrous Conceptions: A History of Race, Disability, and Reproductive Medicine in the United States, is forthcoming with Columbia University Press. My writing appears in academic journals including Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Isis, The Lancet, Gender & History, New Genetics and Society, and Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. I received my PhD in history of science from Harvard University.

I am currently the James Wade Rockwell Assistant Professor in Philosophy of Medicine at UTMB (Department of Bioethics and Health Humanities). Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Dartmouth Society of Fellows. I taught as a lecturer at Yale University (History Department/School of Medicine) and Dartmouth College (History Department), and I also worked as a historical research consultant for Yale’s SEICHE Center for Health and Justice. My teaching spans topics in U.S. history and global health humanities, including reproductive health, health and incarceration, concepts of race in science and medicine, citizenship and public health, gender and women’s health, disability, medicine and imperialism, and environmental health.
