My work is situated at the intersection of history of medicine, anthropology, and STS. Most broadly, I am interested in the relationship between capitalism, apparatuses of knowledge production, and theories and practices of care.

My first book, Medicine in the Meantime: The work of care in Mozambique (2018), traces the lives and afterlives of two transnational medical projects -- projects that enacted deeply divergent understandings of what care means, what it does, and who does it. 

My current research examines the production of humanitarian data and the practices of forecasting and modeling that these data enable. Specifically, this project examines the adoption of new technologies in humanitarian practice, and asks about the forms of knowledge involved in rendering visible, quantifying, and modeling displacement.

Finally, an ongoing area of interest is in caregiving labor, particularly as it is shaped by expert practices and technological platforms. Across these fields, I am concerned with the relationships between bodies, knowledge, and place.

These interests also inform my teaching, which focuses on the history of global health; the uses and limits of feminist theories of care; the relationship between medicine, care, and capitalism; and critical approaches to ethnography.

I welcome queries from prospective students interested in working at the intersection of ethnography and anthropology, the history of science and medicine, and STS.
