Amanda Coate
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2019
Research Assistant, History DepartmentBioAmanda Coate is a Ph.D. candidate in History at Stanford University. She works on the cultural and intellectual histories of early modern Europe. She is particularly interested in the history of famine and hunger, animal-human interactions, the history of medicine and related fields of knowledge, and how people have conceptualized human nature and the extremes of human behavior, such as survival cannibalism. Her dissertation, "Experiences and Meanings of Hunger in Early Modern Europe, c. 1550-1700," examines early modern European cultural understandings of hunger and food scarcity. Using a wide range of sources (including diaries, sermons, news pamphlets, and medical literature), her dissertation tracks the multifaceted ways in which early modern Europeans experienced, portrayed, and comprehended their own and others’ hunger. Her work has been supported by Stanford University's School of Humanities and Sciences, the Europe Center at Stanford University, the Program in History and Philosophy of Science at Stanford University, and the Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at Stanford University.
Amanda's article, "An Elephant in Dublin: Animals and Knowledge in the Late Seventeenth Century," was recently published in the journal Early Science and Medicine. She has been a writer for the blog Synapsis: A Health Humanities Journal, and has written and recorded a podcast episode, "Cannibalism at the Siege of Sancerre," for the French History Podcast. Amanda is also enthusiastic about fostering appreciation for history and the humanities through teaching and is currently working on completing an Associate Level Teaching Certificate from Stanford's Center for Teaching and Learning. -

Geoffrey Cohen
James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business, Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, of Organizational Behavior at the Graduate School of Business
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMuch of my research examines processes related to identity maintenance and their implications for social problems. One primary aim of my research is the development of theory-driven, rigorously tested intervention strategies that further our understanding of the processes underpinning social problems and that offer solutions to alleviate them. Two key questions lie at the core of my research: “Given that a problem exists, what are its underlying processes?” And, “Once identified, how can these processes be overcome?” One reason for this interest in intervention is my belief that a useful way to understand psychological processes and social systems is to try to change them. We also are interested in how and when seemingly brief interventions, attuned to underlying psychological processes, produce large and long-lasting psychological and behavioral change.
The methods that my lab uses include laboratory experiments, longitudinal studies, content analyses, and randomized field experiments. One specific area of research addresses the effects of group identity on achievement, with a focus on under-performance and racial and gender achievement gaps. Additional research programs address hiring discrimination, the psychology of closed-mindedness and inter-group conflict, and psychological processes underlying anti-social and health-risk behavior. -

Mitchell B Cohen
Elizabeth Wood Dunlevie Professor and Senior Associate Dean, Maternal and Child Health
BioMitchell B. Cohen, M.D., is a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics in the School of Medicine. He serves as the Chief Medical Officer for Stanford Medicine Children’s Health and the Senior Associate Dean in the School of Medicine for Maternal and Child Health. From 2014-2024, he was the Katharine Reynolds Ireland Chair of Pediatrics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Physician-in-Chief of Children’s of Alabama. Prior to that, he served as the Director of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition and Vice Chair of Pediatrics at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
Dr. Cohen was the founding Director of the P30 Cincinnati Digestive Health Center: Bench to Bedside Research in Pediatric Digestive Diseases His research focused on the mechanism of action of E. coli heat stable enterotoxin, a worldwide cause of infant diarrhea. His laboratory identified that increased guanylyl cyclase (GC-C) receptors for this toxin contributed to the increased susceptibility and severity of diarrhea seen in infants. Identification of the endogenous ligands for GC-C, guanylin and uroguanylin, led to development of knockout mice and an evolving understanding of intestinal secretion and pharmacologic treatment through this ligand-receptor family. Dr. Cohen had a long-standing NIH-supported program of vaccine trials for enteric infection, including a validated human cholera challenge model which resulted in licensure of a cholera vaccine.
Dr. Cohen has held leadership positions in several professional capacities. He served as the only pediatrician on the NIH Commission on Digestive Diseases; he was chair of the Section on Growth, Development and Nutrition of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) and the Section on Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SOGHN) of the American Academy of Pediatrics; he was President of NASPGHAN, the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition.
