Biography
My research focuses on the history of medicine, particularly in relation to constructions of gender and sexuality in 19th and 20th century North America. I am also interested in the history of the media (especially as it relates to gender and sexuality) and in the ways that we teach students to think historically. My educational research focuses on the ways that learners can be engaged and empowered in their learning with electronic portfolios (ePortfolios).
