I'm interested in exploring the rhetorical strategies and discursive infrastructures at play in the justification of big science and uncertain or "risky" research projects, as well as how the changing context of the post-Cold War world affects research practices, policy, and discourses.  My Master's researc focused on the U.S.'s involvement in international nuclear fusion energy collaborations.
