My research centers on critical aspects of health and care and focus particularly on how digital technologies reconfigure care arrangements and the intersection between technological imaginations, epistemologies, practical care work and everyday lives.
I have done ethnographic fieldwork in care arrangements such as nursing homes, dementia wards, diabetes care clinics, physical rehabilitation centers and prenatal testing clinics and have published my research in international journals such as Sociology of Health and Illness, Digital Health and Anthropology & Ageing.
My research is primarily based on ethnographic fieldwork and draws theoretically on medical sociology/anthropology and science and technology studies. I have a theoretical interest in posthuman perspectives on health, and how materiality and more-than-human actors are involved in care.
