I am a historian of 19th and 20th century United States and Europe. I research Scandinavian-American relations and the transatlantic exchange of ideas with a focus on the history of sexuality, public health and medicine, and media studies.

Currently, I am an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Texas at El Paso and a Research Affiliate at the Swedish Institute for North American Studies at Uppsala University in Sweden.

I am deeply committed to fostering the digital humanities. I am a podcast producer and Emmy-Award winning documentary filmmaker.
