I'm looking forward to posting more about flu, TB and early 20th century medicine soon!

Outside of the PhD, I teach in both the Schools of History and Medicine at St Andrews, and you may have heard me on the Miniatures podcast, which I have produced and presented on from January 2023. You can listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts:

More broadly, I am interested in the history of influenza, tuberculosis, osteopathy, debates around medical authority and expertise, and patent medical advertising in a Western US context.

I will be exploring some of these in a short term fellowship following my PhD submission in the fall!

My thesis explores how pre-pandemic experiences of tuberculosis, the continued prevalence of pre-germ theory understandings of contagion, and the legacy of Southern California's 19th century health rush shaped understandings of disease during the influenza pandemic 🚑🦠📚
