The overarching goal of my research is to examine the historical production of race in public health and medicine. I am particularly interested in the ways in which understandings of race shaped and were shaped by the development, application, and globalization of the technology of spirometry and why, with few exceptions, the practice of "race correction" has not been contested in pulmonary medicine. A related research project explores the relationship between scientific medicine and the historical production of invisibility of asbestos-related disease in South Africa. Related to this interest is my involvement in a collaborative project with U.S. and South African researchers and activists on asbestos diseases in South Africa.
