Dr. Levine-Clark is a Professor of History and the Associate Dean of Diversity, Outreach, and Initiatives in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences for CU Denver. She is an historian with research expertise in social policy, health and disease, gender and the body, and labor and unemployment in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain. Her research interests derive from wider concerns with how understandings of medicine, health, and the body contribute to policies and practices, the ways societies address problems of poverty and welfare, the complicated interactions among cultural discourses, social policies, and people’s lived experiences, and the implications of all of the above for social and economic citizenship.
