Brief Bio
I’m a linguistic and medical anthropologist who uses qualitative methods and anthropological theory to examine issues in medical ethics and healthcare communication, among other topics. In addition to teaching qualitative methods in Penn’s MPH program, I frequently mentor students who are pursuing qualitative capstone projects.
