    Accounting for Complexity: Gene–environment Interaction Research and the Moral Economy of Quantification
    with Janet K. Shim, Robert A. Hiatt, Sandra Soo-Jin Lee, and Sara L. Ackerman
    Science, Technology, and Human Values 41 (2): 194-218. 2016.
    Scientists now agree that common diseases arise through interactions of genetic and environmental factors, but there is less agreement about how scientific research should account for these interactions. This paper examines the politics of quantification in gene–environment interaction research. Drawing on interviews and observations with GEI researchers who study common, complex diseases, we describe quantification as an unfolding moral economy of science, in which researchers collectively enac…Read more
  • “Doing Good” in U.S. Cancer Genomics? Valuation practices across the boundaries of research and care in rural community oncology
    with Michael Kohut, Susan Leeds, Eric C. Anderson, and Paul K. J. Han
    New Genetics and Society 41 (3): 254-283. 2022.
    Genomic Tumour Testing (GTT) is an emerging site of “experimental care” in oncology [Cambrosio, Alberto, Peter Keating, Etienne Vignola-Gagné, Sylvain Besle, and Pascale Bourret. 2018a. “Extending Experimentation: Oncology’s Fading Boundary Bbetween Research and Care.” New Genetics and Society 37 (3): 207–226. doi: 10.1080/14636778.2018.1487281]. Few efforts to implement GTT have reached community oncology practices or patients living in rural communities within the US. Drawing on interdisciplin…Read more
