Hello! #introduction I'm an historian of public and global health, internationalism, migration, statelessness, and rights, with a geographic focus in Modern and Eastern Europe. I'm an assistant professor at the University of Connecticut and co-direct the Research Program in Humanitarianism at the UConn Human Rights Institute.

#books #research I recently finished my first book manuscript: "For Your Health and Ours: The East European History of a Universal Right." I'm now working on a short book on the history of health as a right and a project on citizenship, statelessness, and health after World War II. I'm in the planning stages of a project on the history of statelessness and rights between European empire and EU integration.

I'll post about scholarship, takes on current events related to my research areas, and sometimes pictures of a baking project

@SaraSilverstein Fascinating work, thank you! I would be interested in any aspects on #HealthDiplomacy #GlobalHealthDiplomacy https://disasterdiplomacy.org/disease.html

Much work delves little into the long history of this topic, yet we could learn so much from past examples.

Disease Diplomacy

Disaster diplomacy investigates how and why disaster-related activities do and do not induce cooperation amongst enemies.
