I use qualitative and quantitative methods to explore questions regarding medicine, gender & sexuality, the politics of reproduction, and science and technology studies.
My research has been funded by the National Science Foundation GRFP, the Society for Family Planning, the Woodrow Wilson Women’s Studies Fellowship, the CUNY Dissertation Fellowship, and more.
My work is published in a range of high impact journals. A list of peer reviewed articles can be found below. I have various forthcoming articles on hysterectomy, abortion, and gender affirming care in-progress and under review.
