Education:

  • M.D. Duke University School of Medicine 1995
  • Medical Doctor Duke University 1995

Research Interests:

Her scholarly and teaching interests focus primarily on bioethics and health policy, specifically issues regarding women's health, reproductive medicine, and applications of feminist theory. During her recent tenure as a Greenwall Fellow, her research and writing addressed a range of issues, including the ethics of decisions regarding hormone replacement therapy, HIV in women, research in reproductive medicine including maternal-fetal surgery and the assisted reproductive technologies, and methodology in case-based approaches to issues in obstetrics and gynecology. She is interested in continuing work in these areas, and as a faculty member at Duke, is planning to begin a research project examining individuals' attitudes regarding the disposition of their own cryopreserved embryos. Ultimately she plans to broaden this endeavor into an examination of individuals' attitudes regarding research on their own products of conception (for example, in their use as sources of stem cells or for research regarding preimplantation genetic diagnosis or manipulation). She also will continue ongoing theoretical work regarding childbirth practices in the United States. She is interested in teaching at an undergraduate or graduate level in the areas of feminist bioethics and approaches to ethics in reproductive medicine.
