1997
I'm a full professor of eighteenth-century literature, currently writing about popular science, library history, and the origins of public health. I am a co-investigator on Eighteenth-Century Libraries Online, a new digital union catalog of early library holdings. I also teach interdisciplinary topics in science studies and media studies.
My creative and intellectual work at Duke (especially seminar conversations and writing) have helped me engage in academic research at higher levels of abstraction and with more nonlinear thinking than would have been otherwise possible.
