Dr. Mia Levenson is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the History of Medicine and the Center for Medical Humanities & Social Medicine at Johns Hopkins University.

She received her PhD in Theatre & Performance Studies from Tufts University. Her dissertation, Birthing “Utopia”: Performing Science and Popularizing Eugenics, 1904-1939, explores how eugenics spread through early twentieth century popular performances of scientific progress.
