I am a social historian of modern American medicine, public health and disability. My research on the history of polio examined race relations, reactions to the vaccine, and medical experimentation on children. My subsequent research on the history of Jamaica Ginger paralysis in 1930s America, considers the health consequences of patent medicines, food and drug regulation, and how consumers sought recourse and recognition for their condition. My next research project on the history of fume events on commercial jet aircraft speak to themes of occupational health, clinical research, and disability activism.
