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. This book is based on dissertation research conducted in central and southern Mozambique.

I continue this work through research on the forms of knowledge and investment that shape transnational medical economies. Here, I look particularly at the movement of medical goods and expertise between medical clinics in Maputo, Mozambique and other cities on the African continent and in India. I am interested in thinking about the ways that social relationships and financial practices create conditions for medical practices.

A second, new area of research examines the production of humanitarian data and the practices of forecasting and modeling that these data enable. 

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