Research Portfolio
My independent research focuses on four themes: (1) measuring structural ableism and quantifying its impacts on physical and mental health; (2) documenting and intervening on discrimination in health care settings, particularly for mad people and people with mental illness in psychiatric care; (3) developing an evidence base and advocating for policy changes that advance equity for disabled people; and (4) interrogating and addressing ableism within health care and public health metrics, workforce training, employment, and leadership.
