BIO

I am a social anthropologist and STS scholar. My work focuses on nourishment, reproduction (including epigenetics and DOHaD), and human/ environment intra-action. My PhD explores human - environment relationships in the South African city of Kimberley, where I established the social anthropology department and undergraduate programme. I coordinate Deakin University's interdisciplinary Science and Society Network (SSN) and work as a research officer at Monash on the 'Creating families' project. This Marsden-funded project studies the experiences of people as they seek assisted reproduction in Aotearoa /New Zealand.
