I am interested in connections between the history of technology, national prestige, labor, and gender. My dissertation investigates the development, implementation, and use of computing technologies in British offices from the end of World War II to the 1970s.

In the Spring of 2008, I will teach a course on Europe in the 20th Century at Duke. I have taught a course on politicized sexualities under the Bass Fellowship at Duke, as well as an introduction to technology and ethics in North Carolina State University's Science, Technology and Society Program (Fall 2004).
