- 20th cent. American History
- 20th cent. Soviet History

- Outer Space ✨🚀👨🚀🌒✨
I research the history of space exploration and its social ramifications in the Soviet Union and the United States. In particular, I am interested in how people on the frontiers of the Space Age conceived of the future and understood their relationship with it in ways big and small, from rockets to futuristic kitchens, and how in turn the future shaped their relationships to things like labor, technology, and politics.
In my sparetime I enjoy fried chicken and dive bars that struggle to pass health inspections.
