I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Anthropology at Rice University in Houston, Texas. I conduct research on social difference and the relationships between race, science, and biomedicine, incorporating a mix of ethnographic and humanistic methodologies. My current NSF-funded project investigates the nature and history of dermatology’s so-called “problem with skin color.” With the support of the Baylor Institute for Oral History, I am also conducting an oral history project documenting the development of ethnic skin and skin of color dermatology.
