I care deeply about the relation between scientific knowledge and the way humans see ourselves and our place in a complex and endangered world. Therefore, my research addresses questions about scientific representation (and misrepresentation); the irreducible political and ethical content of all that we think and do; and the potential and limits of every grand narrative of what it means to be human. I work primarily in the history and philosophy of science, biology, and race, and have strong interests in history, literature, anthropology, feminism, and multiculturalism. My interests in natural science and technology span the biological sciences, physics and mathematics, oceanography, psychology, and computer science.
