Her work is concerned with what traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai and the San Francisco Bay Area can tell us about globalization, transnationalism, and the formation of knowledges, identities, and communities. She is especially interested in bringing medical anthropology and science and technology studies in conversation with feminism, humanism/posthumanism, theory and methodology, and China studies.
