Biography

In terms of research, I am interested in the sociology of knowledge as it pertains to contemporary and historical pain medicine and research. My master's thesis, Psy-Knowledge and the Problem of 'Pain Without Lesion,' examined the major ways in which the mind was incorporated into the treatment and understanding of lesionless pain from 1895-1995.

I have served as a TA in the following courses:

SOCI 331: Classical Sociological Theory (Fall 2021, Fall 2022, Fall 2023, Fall 2024)
SOCI 333: Contemporary Sociological Theory (Winter 2021)
SOCI 315: Introductory Social Statistics II (Winter 2022, Winter 2023)
