RESEARCH

My work is centered on co-producing critical population histories and health research through close partnerships with local communities, including Indigenous peoples, their descendants, and multi-racial rural communities, primarily in North America. I am especially interested in questions of early urbanism, imperialism, colonialism, and resistance, and how these factors shape our genomes, health, and the ecologies we live in.

Working from a knowledge of the conjoined histories of science and colonialism, my work takes on the genome lab as a site of critical reinvention to ask different questions and shift the existing landscapes of scientific knowledge production and governance in genome science.
