Bio

Adedoyin is a first-year PhD student in the History of Science, Technology, and Environment. She holds a master's degree in public history with a focus on Museum Studies and wrote her thesis on the reproductive choices of enslaved Black women in the antebellum South.

 Her PhD research expands on this by examining how medicine shaped reproductive choices and its societal impacts in America in the antebellum period. Using bibliometric analysis, she aims to track medical and technological advancements to predict future trends and points of changes.

During her master's, Adedoyin interned at the South Carolina State Museum, and the Orange County Regional Center, Florida,  where she curated exhibits, conducted research, and transcribed oral histories. She received the Becht Summer Fellowship in 2023 and 2024 for her exceptional contributions to public history.
