I am an Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies, Feminist Studies in Culture and Media in the Department of Historical Studies at the University of Toronto Mississauga with a graduate appointment in the Women and Gender Studies Institute at the University of Toronto.I have a PhD in Women and Gender Studies from the University of Toronto, an MA in Women’s Studies and Feminist Research from Western University, and a BA in International Development from McGill University.

Inside and outside of academia, I think about questions and cultures of food, care, healing, technoscience, and colonialism.

My book, Suspicion: Vaccines, Hesitancy, and the Affective Politics of Protection in Barbados (Duke University Press), engages transnational and women of colour feminisms, Caribbean studies and science and technology studies to deconstruct the politics of biomedicine, care, race, colonialism and technology in Barbados in relation to the HPV vaccine. Suspicion was the recipient of the 2022 Duke University Press’ Scholars of Color First Book Award, the co-recipient of the 2022 Gordon K. and Sybil Lewis Award and a Finalist for the 2023 Ludwik Fleck Prize.
