Research Interests

Twenty-first century restrictions on reproductive rights, and specifically how these restrictions impact Black women’s maternal and reproductive health. I am interested in how nineteenth-century medical discourse on Black maternal health informs today’s U.S. reproductive healthcare system, and how the afterlife of slavery shapes contemporary abortion restrictions.

Subfield(s)

Black women's health and reproductive rights, history of Black health and medicine, the afterlives of slavery in the U.S. legal system, Black feminist thought
