I'm a historian and writer, and recently defended my PhD at Yale in History of Science and Medicine. My work centers on the history of the modern human sciences and political economy. I've written about related issues for publications including n+1, Boston Review, and New Labor Forum.​

​Currently, I am also a Visiting Research Scholar at Duke University's Center for the History of Political Economy.

I'm also an Editor at the History of Anthropology Review.
