I'm a medical sociologist, committed to understanding the social production of health and illness across diverse contexts. My research focuses on how a wide variety of actors – scientists and farmers, health policy makers and city planners, people living with illness and people working to help their communities heal from trauma – perceive and experience the material conditions that shape health inequities in the United States.
