I am an Assistant 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 care, healing, technoscience, anti-racism and colonialism.

My first 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.
