Knighton

Interests: Global History of Mental Health, History of Psychiatry, History of Science and Medicine, 20th century American History, and Women's and Gender Studies 
 
I am a first year PhD student exploring global mental health care in the 20th century. My projects have focused on the rise of psychopharmaceuticals as well as the intersection of mental health and feminisms. I'm currently working on a set of case studies that explore how people have or have not used mental health discourses and resources to cope with community violence.
