I teach undergraduate and graduate courses in political theory, public policy, and gender and politics. My current research project focuses on the philosophical and political dimensions of reproductive and maternal health. Specifically, I am interested in the varied and sometimes contradictory narratives concerning nature and technology (for pregnancy and childbirth) and their significance in understanding complex inequality. This project brings together experiences and perspectives of women in developed and developing countries in the region of the Americas (Canada, the United States, Cuba, and Honduras). I am also involved in the Initiative on Community Engaged Scholarship (ICES) and am in the process of developing a research partnership with Immigrant Services of Guelph-Wellington.
