- About Me
I am an associate professor in the History Department at George Washington University. My research centers on the cultural, social, and political history of nineteenth and early twentieth century France with a particular focus on the history of medicine, psychology, and gender as well as broader cultural and political themes. My first book was entitled Bodies and Souls: Politics and the Professionalization of Nursing in France, 1880-1922. I am currently completing the manuscript of a book called “Edge of Reason: Mind, Brain, and Body in the Age of Charcot.”
