Adriana Fraser

Adriana Fraser is a doctoral candidate in the University of Pennsylvania’s History and Sociology of Science Department. She also holds an MA in the history of medicine from McGill University, where she wrote on 19th-century vaccination. Her current research project interrogates the history of biological weapons and biological safety in the second half of the 20th century. She approaches these topics as sites of intense multispecies relations, concentrating on what is at stake when humans make-with-pathogens. Her work has been supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Consortium for the History of Science and Technology, and the Science History Institute.
