She holds Honorary Professorships at Oxford University and Liverpool University in the UK, Shiv Nadar in India and the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.
Over the last decade Lynn has conducted an institutional ethnography of UNESCO World Heritage, tracing the politics of governance and sovereignty and the subsequent implications for multilateral diplomacy, international conservation, and heritage rights. Employing archival and ethnographic analysis, her award-winning book A Future in Ruins: UNESCO, World Heritage, and the Dream of Peace (OUP, 2018) reveals UNESCO’s early forays into a one-world archaeology and its later commitments to global heritage. Building on this research, she is currently examining the entwined histories of colonialism, internationalism, espionage and archaeology in the Middle East coupled with a new project on the heritage security nexus at NATO. Her other fieldwork explores monumental regimes of research and preservation around World Heritage sites in India and how diverse actors and agencies address the needs of living communities.

I received a Ph.D. in Information Systems from the University of Toronto's Faculty of Information. I also hold a Master's degree in Information Technology (M.Sc.) from Téluq - Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). While my primary funding agency is NSERC, I also hold grants from CIHR and SSHRC.
My research aims at improving how we design digitally enabled services like telehealth so that they can better address human needs. My research program focuses on three key aspects of the design of digitally enabled services: the need for improved models and modeling techniques supporting the analysis and design of these systems; the need to articulate their sociotechnical architectures; and the need to anchor the design of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) embedded in these systems both in relevant theories and in a deep understanding of multiple stakeholder needs. I investigate these aspects in the health care domain, with a particular interest on how they can support the transformation of health systems.

Food and Transformation in Ancient Mediterranean Literature (SBL, 2019) defines a genre of transformative ingestion called hierophagy. I use sensory analysis to explore how performative consumption brings about access to other worlds in ancient Mediterranean narratives. My first book, My Flesh is Meat Indeed (Fortress; 2015), evaluates how John 6:51c–58 contributes to the gospel’s presentation of Jesus as divine in light of Hellenistic attitudes about sacrifice, divinity, and the consumption of human flesh. Soon to be published are two co-edited volumes on Judeophobia and the New Testament (Eerdmans 2025) and on Good Omens and the Bible (Sheffield Phoenix 2025).

Assistant Professor of Pharmacoepidemiology, The Ohio State University
My research focuses on the safety and effectiveness of medications and medical devices. Specifically, I apply quantitative methods from epidemiology, pharmacoepidemiology, biostatistics and data analytics to analyze large healthcare databases such as health insurance claims and other linked databases which capture prescribed medication use and outcomes on their safety and effectiveness. Currently, I focus specifically on:
1. The role of the social determinants of health factors on the effectiveness of prescribed medications: He is interested in how the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age influence the safety and effectiveness of prescribed medication use in the community settings.
2. Medication outcomes among racial/ethnic minorities: Through population-based observational studies, he tries to measure differences in the utilization, safety and effectiveness of prescribed medications between racial groups, as racial/ethnic minority groups tend to be under-represented in clinical trials of drugs.
3. Drug-drug interactions: The simultaneous use of multiple medications is growing increasingly common. He investigates whether it is safe to simultaneously use certain medications or not.
