Dr. Montgomery received her PhD in the History of Science and Technology from the University of Minnesota in 2005. After teaching for two years at Montana State University, Dr. Montgomery joined Lyman Briggs College (75% appointment) and History (25% appointment) in the fall of 2008. Her research focuses on the history of field science, particularly the development of field methods and sites within primatology and animal behavior studies. Primatology is a transnational science and thus her research also analyzes issues concerning race, gender and globalization.
Dr. Montgomery is an award-winning educator with teaching awards from the University of Minnesota and the Humane Society of the United States. In 2008-2009 she will be teaching LBC 332: Technology and Culture and LBC 133: Introduction to the History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science. Dr. Montgomery will also teach Hist 110: Animal Histories in the Department of History. Her courses explore fundamental and often controversial topics in science and society and integrate experiential learning whenever possible. In the spring of 2009, for example, her animal histories course will include field trips to animal-related places on and off campus.
Upcoming Events:
Dr. Montgomery is organizing Animals: Past, Present and Future, an interdisciplinary and international conference to be held at MSU in April, 2009. The conference will explore a range of questions concerning human-animal relationships and provide a forum for discussion between scholars from the humanities and sciences.
