Juliana Broad

Juliana Broad is a PhD student in Yale’s Program in the History of Science and Medicine, where she is a Richard J. Franke Fellow. Her research interests center on the relationship between the mind sciences and labor in the 19th and 20th centuries. One current project, tentatively titled “The Conscientious Personality,” explores how psychologists working at the behest of the United States government used intelligence and psychometric tests to classify and manage anti-war pacifists — with consequences for both the exercise of religious liberties and conceptions of the conscience. She has previously published research on the role of fiction in the late Victorian debate over smallpox vaccination (Medical History) and on genealogies in British psychoanalysis (History of the Human Sciences); she also co-authored a syllabus on invisible labor in the sciences (History of Science). She earned an MPhil in the History and Philosophy of Science as a Gates Cambridge Scholar from the University of Cambridge and a BA in the Liberal Arts from The New School, where she studied creative writing. Prior to attending The New School, she studied biology and philosophy at McGill University.
