I am a sociologist with expertise in public health, political economy, social policy, and science and technology studies. My research program critically engages the politics of measurement, knowledge-making and resistance in caring industries, from healthcare to aged care. My current project examines the power dynamics and logics shaping new data linkage and algorithmic technologies in public health - with particular attention to their implications for health and social equity. I bring practical policy, research and evaluation experience from my former roles in community health and NSW Health.
