Bio:
I am an professor of History at 91制片厂, co-editor of the journal , and a member of the new Cambridge History of Technology editorial team. My book (MIT Press, 2016) was awarded the Pfizer Prize for the best scholarly book in 2017, the History of Science Society's highest honor for a work of scholarship.
As a historian of science and technology, I examine the connections between science, technology, crops, and politics on a global scale. For instance, after revisiting the history of European fascism through stories of technoscientific organisms such as wheat, pigs, and sheep, I am now studying the significance of cloning Californian oranges for the history of racial capitalism in the United States, South Africa, Algeria, Palestine, and Brazil.
I have served as a research fellow at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, a visiting professor at UCLA and UC Berkeley, and a member of the research team (MPIWG).
I recently co-edited (University of Chicago Press, 2021) and (Imprensa Ciências Sociais, 2019). In addition, I am co-author of (2021) and (Yale University Press, 2023).
