What I would like to offer as a collaborator…
My primary research agenda examines how public sector trade unions can influence the provision of health and social welfare services, with a focus on the development of mental health policy in the United States and France. As part of this project, I pursued a post-doctoral fellowship in medical ethics to determine the fair allocation of resources in psychiatry. In other work, I have examined how different countries frame the issue of health inequality, and with what consequences for public policy.
What I am looking for from a collaborator…
I look forward to meeting and collaborating with researchers, educators, and community partners interested in similar themes. As someone with training in both the social and medical sciences, I also look forward to developing linkages between those areas at Cornell.
