I am a professional feminist critic who analyzes contemporary sexual norms as well as issues related to gender and the body while also equipping students with the skills to analyze and transform their worlds.
I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Wake Forest University. My research and teaching interests are in the areas of sexuality studies, feminist theory, feminist studies of science and medicine, and disability studies. I teach courses such as “Sexual Politics in the U.S.,” “Gender and the Politics of Health,” and “Men, Masculinity, and Power.” I hold a PhD in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies from Emory University, an MA in Women’s and Gender Studies from Rutgers University, and a BA in History and Women’s Studies from Georgetown University. My book, Medical Entanglements: Rethinking Feminist Debates about Healthcare, was published by Rutgers University Press in 2019. I am a co-editor of Queer Feminist Science Studies: A Reader (The University of Washington Press, 2017). My articles have been published in Signs: The Journal of Women in Culture and Society, the Journal of Medical Humanities, the American Journal of Bioethics: Neuroscience, the Journal of Lesbian Studies, and Feminism & Psychology, among others.
