Research

My scholarly focus is on gender, disability, medical sociology, and science and technology studies. The core of my scholarship is to question how knowledge about marginalized groups is produced and how it is sustained and used by our social institutions.

My dissertation explores how prevailing conceptions about autistic and transgender people combined with the neoliberal structures of the medical/mental health systems come to affect whether and how autistic trans people access gender-affirming medical care.

My most recent article “Accounting for neuronormativity in transgender medicine” was published in Social Science & Medicine.

I am also engaged in program evaluation, currently serving as an evaluation specialist for the CUNY Nurse Fellowship Academy, an academic-practice partnership that aims to upskill nurses in clinical preceptor, educator, and leadership roles.
