Christine Manganaro

Visiting Instructor of American Studies and History

Christine Manganaro specializes in late nineteenth- and twentieth-century American history, particularly U.S. imperialism, race and race relations, and the history of social science, life science, and medicine. She earned a B.A. in history at the University of Puget Sound and is a PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota, preparing to defend her dissertation, which examines how American ethnologists, physical anthropologists, and sociologists, through their research on Hawaiian origins, race, and race mixing, projected that the islands would become a melting pot, thus naturalizing settler colonialism in Hawai‘i. This fall, Christine is teaching courses on race and gender in science and on Hawai‘i as an American settler colony.
