I currently have three distinct areas of social research that I am actively pursuing.
Historical Anthropology of Global Health in the Caribbean
Intersection of Critical Disability Studies, Post-humanism & Design
Science and Technology Studies: a focus on biomedicine & cancer
Broadly conceived, my analytical and empirical interests lay in the closely to how health, illness and care are enacted in various locations, the implications of these enactments and how they came to be constituted in the first place. I aim to be an ethnographer first, and rely primarily on critical and rigorous empirical engagement with the topics or area of interest in tandem with “weak theory” to generate effective and sensitive analyses of my subject material.
