Biography

My research interests are situated at the intersection of sociology of science, feminist epistemology, and philosophy of public health, where I primarily focus on science communication. I employ a range of research methods from the social sciences, including institutional ethnography and discourse and social network analysis, to examine the communication and knowledge production structures of public health. By integrating different disciplines in the philosophy of science, I hope to promote better understanding of scientific knowledge.
