Introduction

This research site contains my Ph.D. dissertation on the history of science at the University of California, Los Angeles. When funded and completed, it will accompany the academic writing with primary research sources and educational aids in an interactive, multimedia, non-linear format.

I expect this research is primarily made for social empowerment for northern New Mexicans whose lives are affected by Los Alamos, fellow scholars in science studies and policy makers and program managers in the University of California and Los Alamos National Laboratory employees.

This research grows out of the Center for the Cultural Studies of Science, Technology, and Medicine, located within the UCLA history department, and was supervised by my dissertation committee:

Sharon Traweek (Chair; UCLA, history of science),
Norton Wise (UCLA, history of science),
Juan Gomez-Quiñones (UCLA, U.S. history), and
Michael Curry (UCLA, geography).
