My work explores the rhythms and tensions between bodies and technologies. I draw primarily on STS, phenomenology, and feminist theory.
My doctoral project examines the conditions and consequences of e-health in chronic pain care. From immersive serious games to symptom-tracking applications to facial coding systems that detect pain via patterns of expression, digital technologies are increasingly touted as capable of solving long-standing challenges to treating people with chronic pain. However, these tools introduce novel issues and questions about chronic pain, technology, and justice in medicine. My dissertation describes the emergence of digitality in chronic pain medicine, the ideological backdrop of this paradigm, and how technoscientific practices impact the lives of people living with chronic pain in Canada.
