I am a historian, writer, and teacher based in Boston.
I am currently a lecturer in the History of Science department at Harvard University and oversee the senior thesis program for undergraduates. I am also an associate editor at The Drift, where I’ve been involved since its inception. I earned my Ph.D. from Harvard in May 2022, and my dissertation won the 2023 Leo P. Ribuffo Prize from the Society for U.S. Intellectual History.
My research explores the culture of work in the modern United States. In my forthcoming book, Make Your Own Job: How the Entrepreneurial Work Ethic Exhausted America, I explore how social scientists and management intellectuals reshaped the American work ethic during the turbulence of twentieth-century U.S. capitalism. I've contributed articles on labor, politics, and American history to publications such as The New Yorker, Harper’s, n+1, The Nation, and more.
