I’m an historian specializing in the history of science and medicine in the United States. I work as an Adjunct Professor at Oklahoma State University (teaching online courses) and at Southwest Minnesota State University (teaching live courses). Currently, I’m writing a book about eugenics, sterilization, and carceral power at a girls’ reform school in Kansas (to be complete spring 2020–see page for more details). I have taught the American history survey as well as courses on the Gilded Age, Modern Civ 1500-present, American Thought and Culture, and WWII. I have in the past also taught courses on the history of evolutionary theory, magical realism in literature, and composition and rhetoric.

I’ve got a profile at academia.edu, and you can download my current CV here.
