Person
I graduated the University of Tartu (Estonia) as an archaelogist / osteologist in 1993. After that I worked at different Estonian Medieval archaeological sites (St. John’s in Tartu, Kambja church and others). In 1995 I defended a masters thesis at the Central European University (Budapest) on the palaeodemography of a Medieval population from Tartu. The work was done on skeletal material.
In 1995 my scientific interests switched from osteology to science history. Since then I have been working on academic positions at the Museum of Tartu University History, Estonian National Defence College and the Institute of Public Health at the University of Tartu. My present position is a lecturer of the history of medicine at the Institute of Public Health.
My fields of interest in science history have been the history of eugenics, history of race studies and medicine and natural sciences under totalitarianism.
