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 deeply engaged in fostering scholarly communities, including at locally King's -- for example, through the Culture, Medicine & Power Research Group and Queer@King's -- and internationally: I serve on the Lead Editorial Team of Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience, and as an Editor at BioSocieties.
