Bio/Description

Grace is a Ph.D. student in the History of Science, interested in modern U.S. psy-disciplines.  She enjoys learning about tools of knowledge production – particularly measurement and diagnosis in trauma, loss, and mood disorders – within psychiatry, exploring the people and powers forming and pushing against present realities.  Her previous historical research has examined the development and implication of quantitative scales for grief in the late 20th Century.  Before Princeton, she studied Neuroscience at Duke (B.S.) and Medicine, Health, and Society at Vanderbilt (M.A.), and worked both as a qualitative data analyst in community health research in Rhode Island and as an AmeriCorps member at a non-profit supporting bereaved children in Maine.
