About

I am a social anthropologist with a focus on the science and technology of reproduction. My work explores the practices and possibilities of life-making and life-sustaining that arise from new technologies and new knowledges of life in the afterlife of Apartheid in South Africa. Using qualitative and ethnographic methods, I undertake research at the intersection of racism, reproduction, and environments toward the aims of health and social justice.

​

My research has included projects on assisted reproductive technologies, cross-border migrations for fertility care, postgenomic models of the body, and the use of race and human categorisation in science. I was recently (2025) awarded the Wellcome Trust Early Career Award for an ethnographic project on the use of DDT in malaria control in South Africa.
