学术兴趣
I am a historian of 医学 and the early American republic interested in the intersections of science, 医学, 和政治. 我的第一本书 Benjamin Rush, Civic Health, and Human Illness in the Early American Republic, explores the way in which Benjamin Rush and his students promoted medical theories they believed were best suited to the new republic. In doing so Rush not only founded a distinctly American medical profession but used his position an expertise to argue for a range of political and social reforms in the name of a healthy republic. 简而言之, this book argues that Rush’s work in science and 医学 played a foundational role in the American transition from colony to nation and the social structures that characterized it in the nineteenth century. My next project will move beyond the years of the revolution and examine the rise and fall of competing ideas surrounding disease etiology (the cause of illness) in the United States.
