I'm a historian, writer, and PhD candidate 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.​

​Next academic year I will be a Visiting Research Fellow at Duke University's Center for the History of Political Economy.

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