My research examines the development of the social, psychological, and behavioral sciences in various contexts, i.e., intellectual, biographical, disciplinary, political, and institutional.  Most of my work concentrates on the period since World War Two, especially the Cold War era. I am particularly interested in the following issues: scientific boundary work for the social, psychological, and behavioral sciences; controversy over their intellectual foundations, normative implications, and scientific identities; the evolution and impact of private and public patronage for research in these fields; debates about their social relevance and public policy uses

Recently, I've begun research on the histories of vegetarianism and veganism, including their deep (yet rarely examined) connections to the histories of science, technology, and medicine.  At this early stage, I'm especially interested in exploring the development and current status of the three main pillars of modern veg*ism: animal welfare and ethics, human health impacts for individuals and communities
