Abigail Arthur Smith

As a qualitative, historical researcher, Abby (she/they) studies how morality varies across time and social groups. She is particularly interested in how science and medicine serve, and are shaped by, moral goals and intuitions. They have applied this focus to a wide range of subjects, including racialized water crises, inaccessible infrastructure, and pronatalism (their dissertation). She especially enjoys working with undergraduate students, and has taught Introduction to Sociology, Sociological Theory, and Methods.
