Ph.D. Candidate in History of Science
CAPS Study of the American Republic Fellow, 2025-26
Osaremen’s dissertation, the first extensive historical study of the United States pharmacy, follows the Black drugstore from the early 20th to early 21st century as a lens to explore the transformation of the broader institution: from independent shops to corporate chains–the rise and fall of the “public health pharmacy”–and the pharmacy deserts that followed.
