As an education design partner and curriculum consultant for Gibbs Smith Education, I’m privileged to work closely with teachers and administrators to provide their schools with academically rigorous, research-based K-12 titles, ranging from third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade state and U.S. history to difficult-to-teach hot-button topics.Our titles present an unblinking, multi-perspective representation of social and cultural studies, with volumes including World History, U.S. History, State History, African-American History, and Diversity Studies / Ethnic Studies.Before joining Gibbs Smith, I spent fifteen years as a scholar, editor, instructor, and faculty trainer, where I worked hard to help classicists and historians present a responsible representation of history.During that time, I also served as a developmental editor, copy editor, and proofreader for publications including Cambridge University Press, Brill Publishing, and Oxford University Press on dozens of manuscripts, as well as projects/papers for authors and contributors.Additionally, I project managed colleagues across 50+ programs and faculty and scholar initiatives (e.g., courses, conferences, speaker series, multi-author publications); trained and mentored hundreds of people, including faculty, graduate students, tutors, and new professionals; authored or co-authored 25+ publications (e.g., books, articles, reviews) and presentations; and developed style guides in collaboration with writers and editors.Recently authored publications include: “The Practice of Medical Dissection in Third-Century BCE Alexandria, Egypt as a Heterotopia of Deviation,” Social History of Medicine, Oxford University Press, and “On the Heart of the Hippocratic Corpus: its meaning, context and purpose,” Medical History, Cambridge University Press. I also recently reviewed _The Aesthetics of Hope in Late Greek Imperial Literature: Methodius of Olympus’ Symposium and the Crisis of the Third Century, Cambridge University Press_ with Alberto Puertas Quiroga. Expertise spans languages, linguistic structures, and composition; literature and histories of ideas; ancient medicine and history of science; antique and early medieval culture and history, with broad exposure to medical science, philosophy, and the social sciences.LIGHTEN THE TEACHING LOAD:As an employee-owned publisher, Gibbs Smith Education strives to lighten the load that teachers carry by giving them relevant, accurate, and robust social studies tools and resources.
