Lab Director: Adam Putnam
Adam finished his BA at Earlham College, a small liberal arts college in Indiana. He then spent two years as Assistant to the President at Earlham, where he worked in several areas of higher education administration. In 2009 he left for Washington University in St. Louis where he completed his PhD with Henry L. Roediger.
