Associate Professor
Biosketch
Joseph Gabriel studies the history of medicine in the United States. Much of his work focuses on the history of drugs and pharmaceuticals in the nineteenth and twentieth-centuries. He is also interested in the history of intellectual property, aesthetics, ethics, the early modern circulation of healing goods, and the experience of both pleasure and suffering. He is currently writing two books: the first is on the history of drug addiction in the early United States, while the second is on intellectual property rights and the American pharmaceutical industry in the years between World War I and World War II.
Dr. Gabriel holds joint appointments in the Department of History and the Department of Behavioral Sciences and Social Medicine. He received his PhD in History from Rutgers University and in 2006-2007 held a National Science Foundation postdoctoral fellowship in the science studies program at the University of California, San Diego.
