Research areas
My research sits at the intersection of social epidemiology and critical demography. I am interested in how structural racism produces health disadvantages in ethnic populations, and how epidemiological and mortality transitions have been delayed for racialised groups. My research gives particular attention to statistical visibility and data quality as mechanisms that obscure the true dimensions of health inequities and complicate their mitigation through effective policies.
Currently, as an investigator on the SOC-MISC project, I am examining how social context shapes the risk of miscarriage, and why specific groups, particularly racialised women, systematically experience poorer pregnancy outcomes. Moving beyond individual-level perspectives on health outcomes, this work seeks to shed light on how structural inequality becomes embodied as a higher risk of reproductive loss.
