I am a social, political, and intellectual historian of twentieth-century United States, with particular interests in race, ethnicity and the history of medicine. I work in multiple fields simultaneously, Latino history, African American history, politics and modern medicine. I investigate the ways in which the labor economy, social movements, electoral politics, housing reforms, educational curricula, and mental health treatment shaped contemporary notions of race and ethnicity in the United States.
