简介

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Black Studies and the Department of History. As an intellectual historian I study the construction of race across the history of science. My work also examines the interplay between religion and society, specifically within the context of American religious history and the history of modern science more generally. Interested in how the past informs the present I also study contemporary attitudes toward human evolutionary biology, and the ethical implications of genetic science and public health research. I teach courses in Black Studies on the following themes: “race, disease, and the environment,” “race, nature, and fitness,” African American religious history, and American intellectual history.
