​I'm an Associate Professor at the University of Redlands. I teach and research Modern European history, with an emphasis on nineteenth-century France. Areas of expertise include the histories of gender, sexuality, disability, and medicine.

My first book examines the gender and class dimensions of psychiatric treatment from the French Revolution until the eve of World War I. Institutionalizing Gender: Madness, the Family, and Psychiatric Power in Nineteenth-Century France is available for purchase from Cornell University Press.

The Open Access eBook is free to download on JSTOR and other online repositories.
