I am a writer, historian-ethnographer, and academic. My scholarship examines the past and future of science, medicine, and technology. For the past fifteen years, I’ve worked primarily in eastern and southern Africa on the techno-politics of global health. I am currently revising a book, Africanizing Oncology, which is about histories of survival, experiments, and creativity in times of crisis at a cancer hospital in Uganda. Drawn to interdisciplinary academic spaces, I have a PhD in the History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania, an MHS in International Health from Johns Hopkins, and a BA in Development Studies from UC Berkeley. In 2019, I served as the founding Head of Humanities and Social Sciences and Assistant Professor at the University of Global Health Equity in Rwanda. Prior to that, I worked as a Research Fellow on Chronic Disease in Africa at University College London from 2016 to 2018. In addition, I taught courses on African history as well as science, medicine, and technology studies at the University of San Francisco, UC Berkeley, and the University of Pennsylvania. I have spoken about health and politics at a wide variety of institutions, including Stanford University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Riverside, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Washington University in St. Louis, Oxford University, Cambridge University, University of Oslo, the British Institute in East Africa, and the University of Witwatersrand. My work has been supported by a variety of organizations including the Social Science Research Council, the Wenner Gren Foundation, and the Wellcome Trust. For 2020, I am on sabbatical and based in California.
