Dr. Bunschoten is the Abbott Lowell Cummings Postdoctoral Fellow in American Material Culture at Boston University’s American and New England Studies Program. Her manuscript project “examines the politics and social worlds of vanilla—as an ingredient, a flavor, a fragrance, and a euphemism for race—in the context of everyday life in the United States.
