About my research...

My research focuses on gender history and the history of health and medicine. I've written on drug history, public health, alternative medicine, health policy and oral health. I'm currently writing a book on oral health and social inequality and my next book will be on the history of divorce.

How my research improves life...

To solve the problems of inequality in our society, we need to understand their roots and origins. My work focuses on how gender, race, and class impact our health and our future.
