Research
I have undertaken research in Africa, the UK and south Asia. My research interests include science, technology, health, environment and policy, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, identity and other expressions of belonging or difference. I also work on interdisciplinary research on environmental health, asbestos diseases, peri-urban sustainability, and zoonotic disease.
