I work in the area of Feminist Technoscience Studies, with particular focus on reproduction, sexuality, sex/ gender, embodiment and health.
I am the author or editor of five books: on sex hormones and embodiment, on genetic testing and reproductive technologies, on early onset puberty, health biosensing and Actor-Network Theory. These are listed below. I also have a long track-record in work on ageing and new technologies of care.
I am currently working on reproductive biosensing and self-tracking, and developing an international project on new formations of the menopause, working with sociologists, activists and artists in the UK. I have a strong interest in feminist and queer theory and how they can help us understand how human and non-human bodies are changing in the current era of environmental disaster.
Another line of research concerns the rise of neuroscientifically-informed parenting practices and popular, therapeutic and biomedical accounts of the effects of early-life trauma throughout childhood and adult life. I have a long-standing interest in the intwinement of psychodynamic and other psychological accounts of subjectivity with neurological and other technoscientific accounts.
