Professional Summary
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Sociology at the University of Cincinnati and the Ohio Policy Evaluation Network. Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Social Studies of Medicine at McGill University. I received my Ph.D. in Sociology and a Graduate Certificate in Science, Technology, and Society (STS) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
My research focuses on issues related to gender, technology, and reproduction. My current research examines people’s moral lives in the context of their encounters with contested medical technologies and procedures. I have studied Christian women’s experiences with infertility and assisted reproductive technologies, how health care make decisions about participation in abortion care, women’s experiences with genetic carrier testing in reproductive health care settings, and how patients and clinicians are impacted by policy restrictions on reproductive health care. My work has been published in Gender & Society, Social Science & Medicine, and Health Expectations.
