Jeffrey A. Brune is an Associate Professor of History in the School of Arts and Humanities at Gallaudet University. He specializes in disability history, U.S. cultural history, and welfare policy. Brune earned his B.A. from Colorado College, and his M.A. and Ph.D. in history from the University of Washington. His research emphasizes intersectional approaches to disability, race, and gender, with a focus on 19th- and 20th-century America.
Brune co-edited *Disability and Passing: Blurring the Lines of Identity* (Temple University Press, 2013), analyzing how disability identity is negotiated through concealment and performance. He serves as Editor-in-Chief of *Disability Studies Quarterly*, the field’s oldest journal. His current project explores the collapse of 19th-century welfare consensus during the Gilded Age, linking disability politics to broader socio-economic shifts.
Teaching areas include U.S. disability history, African American history, and historiography. Brune’s work has been supported by grants from Gallaudet’s Research Institute and Syracuse University’s Center on Human Policy, Law, and Disability Studies.
