Postdoctoral research fellow, Macquarie University
My research falls in three main areas – bioethics, feminist philosophy and agency. I am currently a lecturer in the philosophy department at Macquarie University, and have just completed a three year research project on gender in surgery. I also do research into the ethical issues associated with emerging health technologies, such as innovative surgical techniques and implantable devices, synthetic organs and advanced prosthetics.
