Her current program of research explores the social and health impacts of public housing renovation and redevelopment in San Francisco; intersections of race, culture, place and space on the reproduction of social and health inequalities; the nature of racism and its impact on the illness experiences of African Americans; the dynamics of how social inequalities are transacted in patient-provider interactions and the experiences of those living with chronic illness. She is a 2016 Robert Wood Johnson Interdisciplinary Research Fellow.
