Biography

I am an STS scholar, which means I use qualitative methods from humanistic and social science disciplines to examine the relationship between science and its political, social and economic context. What counts as valid scientific evidence? What are the appropriate methods for producing such evidence? And what power relations leave their mark on the methodologies that come to inform actual scientific practice? At Notre Dame, I direct the Science, Technology and Values Minor, the Dual Degree Program in Engineering and Arts & Letters, and assist with the HPS and GLOBES graduate programs as well as the new minor in Health, Humanities and Society.
