About Andrew
Andrew teaches and studies U.S. history and the history of public health and health policy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His recently completed dissertation, “Eating to Learn, Learning to Eat: School Meals and Nutrition Policy in the United States, 1900-1946,” examines the development of school lunch and nutrition programs for children from their beginnings at the end of the 19th century to the passage of the National School Lunch Act in 1946. Andrew’s present work explores the origins, professionalization, and consolidation of public health nutrition. He is currently Adjunct Professor of History at Cardinal Stritch University and a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
