  mentoring_philosophy: |
    My mentoring philosophy centers on collaboration and skill development. I view projects as joint efforts with research assistants, fostering open and frequent communication and shared goal-setting to align with the UROP program objectives and deadlines. I aim to provide the tools, background, and training for students to learn best practices for conducting historical research.

  overall_research_project_description: |-
    This project examines how climate science and policy were communicated and discussed in popular media from roughly 1950-1980. This period coincides with shifting perceptions towards earth’s climate and the natural world alongside scientific advances and the environmental movement. 

    In particular, this project looks at the role of gender in understanding the concepts of climate and global warming. Science has often reflected a culture of masculinity, mirroring societal ideas, and the natural world or environment has been gender coded as feminine through ideas such as “Mother Nature.” This study seeks to examine the disparity between the feminization of nature and the masculinity of scientific study. For instance, is the climate depicted as masculine or feminine? Are there different perspectives towards the climate between men and women? How is the masculinity of science reflected in how the climate is framed?

    The research involves examining historic newspapers and periodicals that discuss climate science and policy. This includes national newspapers such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and Chicago Tribune, as well as popular broad and science-focused periodicals such as Time, Popular Science, and Nature.
