Robert S. Cox

An archivist and historian at UMass Amherst, Rob Cox is a recovering paleontologist, reluctant molecular biologist, former cowboy, and would-be New Englander. Along with forays into the history of religion, history of science, and archival praxis, he has worked on the edges of horticultural and culinary history and is engaged in a project on the history and culture of sleep in the early national United States.
