Bio/Research

My research examines the history of gender, race, and health in the United States in the twentieth century. It examines the ways that health issues reflect and shape beliefs, values, and power dynamics in society.

My current research examines the health consequences of World War II in North America. It explores the human and environmental health consequences of American and Canadian military medical experimentation with mustard gas. It investigates American race-based experiments, the promotion of an “Alberta Advantage” in research, and the postwar ocean dumping of mustard gas by the U.S. and Canada.
