BA, Brandeis
PhD, MIT I am a Professor in the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at King's College London, and currently serve as Head of Department. I am also highly engaged with my international academic communities beyond King's, for example as Honorary Professor at the Sydney Centre for Healthy Societies at the University of Sydney, as an editor at the journal BioSocieties (under the senior editorial leadership of Profs Nikolas Rose, Hannah Landecker, and Catherine Waldby), and especially as President of the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S). My research explores feminist, antiracist, and postcolonial engagements with science, technology, and medicine. I am the author of three books:
Broadly, I am engaged in ongoing research in three intersecting areas: racism and health, feminist theory and biomedicine, and social studies of pharmaceuticals. Each of these areas has active collaborative projects: a collaboration with Nadine Ehlers, Anthony Ryan Hatch, and Amade M'charek on race and the biohumanities with a book forthcoming from the University of Minnesota Press titled The Racial Cage, a collaboration with Nina Wakeford on heart feminism at the Science Gallery London, and a collaboration with Lauren Paremoer on the Africa CDC's endeavours to foster pharmaceutical and R&D and manufacture.
