I am interested in cross-cultural experiences of disability.
Currently, I'm working on a project
to evaluate the accessibility for disabled people at the University of Arizona
in Tucson. Funded by a NASA Fellowship, the project will use qualitative and
geospatial methods to understand accessibility and Universal Design. In 2008,
I will study societal inclusion for people with physical disabilities on a Fulbright
Fellowship to Ecuador.
My other research interests include engaged/applied anthropology, medical anthropology, community development, participatory GIS, and my regional interest is Latin
America.
