I am a cultural anthropologist with
experience in
medical anthropology, applied/engaged anthropology, human geography,
and urban planning. My research interests focus
on cross-cultural
experiences of disability and bodily differences. This includes
dissertation research on disability
in Ecuador, research
with military veterans, and a project
on spatial approaches to accessibility and the built environment.
Other areas of
interest include governmentality and biopolitics, Latin America,
anthropology of health, violence, Geographic Information Systems (GIS),
political economy, collective identity, social movements, social costs
of armed conflict, and participatory research. I try to
practice engaged scholarship, and admire my colleagues who are
dedicated to making their research relevant, applicable, and
understandable.
