- About Me
I completed my dual PhD in History and Women’s Studies at the Pennsylvania State University in 2013 and am an Assistant Professor in History at the University of North Texas. I research and write on modern U.S. politics, health and medicine, and gender and women’s history. My first book, Governing Bodies: American Politics and the Shaping of the Modern Physique, is out with the University of Pennsylvania Press. Now I am working on the politics of maternal mental health in modern America.
