Ongoing Collaborations
Graduate & Early Career Caucus of HSS
I am currently a co-chair with the Graduate and Early Career Caucus (GECC) of the History of Science Society (HSS). With my fellow co-chair, Iris Clever (University of Chicago), I am responsible for working with Diversity, Mentorship, and Communications Officers to coordinate the caucus’ programming for the HSS Annual Meeting and throughout the year. I work as a liaison between graduate students and early career scholars working in and alongside the history of science and the standing committees and chairs of the History of Science Society. In my role as co-chair, I am keen to build thoughtful and supportive communities in the history of science and allied fields. Prior to my work as co-chair, I worked as a Communications Officer with GECC.
Digital Humanities: HOSLAC
I am interested in how the digital humanities can foster more accessible and experimental relationships to scholarship.
Since 2019, I have been the Associate Editor for the History of Science in Latin America and the Caribbean (HOSLAC), a digital publication created and maintained by Dr. Julia Rodriguez of the University of New Hampshire. HOSLAC is a prize-winning open-source database of over 200 digitized and annotated primary sources for use in a variety of historical subfields.
As the Associate Editor for HOSLAC, I created and edited a pilot section titled “Advanced Topics: Reproductive Histories in Latin America.” This section features sources identified, translated, and analyzed by Dr. Elizabeth O’Brien (Johns Hopkins), Dr. Nora Jaffary (Concordia University), Dr. Jethro Hernandez Berrones (Southwestern University), and Dr. Cassia Roth (University of Georgia).
Past Collaborations
Science Beyond the West Working Group
From 2018 to 2020, I was a co-ordinator of the Science Beyond the West Working Group in the Department of History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. With Claire Sabel, Nikhil Dharan, and Koyna Tomar, I organized regular department meetings that invited both internal and external speakers.
In October 2019, we organized “Collaborative Pedagogies in the Global History of Science,” a workshop that brought together undergraduate and graduate students to reflect on how to design courses that expose students to the increasingly global research in the history of science. For this conference, we received generous support from the University of Pennsylvania’s Dean’s Global Inquiries Fund, the University Research Foundation, the South Asia Center, the Center Latin American and Latinx Studies, the Department of History, the Department of History and Sociology of Science, and the Consortium for the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine.
