Biography
I work in the field of Science and Technology Studies. My research examines the social, political and policy dimensions of the life sciences.
I focus particularly on how science and technology are made and governed, and how they might be re-made and governed in ways that are more democratic or environmentally beneficial than they are currently.
Expertise
