Biography
I am a historian of European ideas, intellectuals, and culture in the twentieth century. I’m particularly interested in intellectual history, comparative cultural criticism, and the history of the social sciences. I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the History of Science and Technology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.
I have taught courses on European history, social thought, colonialism, and postcolonialism at the University of Illinois. I received my Ph.D. in History from the University of Illinois in 2021. Prior to my time at Illinois, I lectured in the History and Religious Studies Departments at California State University, Los Angeles.
