My scholarly profile is varied, but in general interrogates the essential connection of embodied experience to representational and textual modalities, with a strong emphasis on ethics. My 2020 book collection examines transitional states of embodiment in the health humanities, as does a forthcoming volume which focuses on graphic narratives. I’ve had three book chapters on graphic narratives and embodied experience appear in 2020 and also participated in the recent Routledge volume on women’s health advocacy and rhetorical ingenuity.

I routinely publish and present on biomedical publication ethics, specifically practices that involve corporate or industry partners. I serve as a member of the steering committee for good publications practice and am involved in a global group co-headed by leaders from the European Good Clinical Practice Alliance and the Multiregional Clinical Trial Center of Brigham and Women’s Hospital. This work has drawn collaborators from around the world. I also edit a book on regulatory documentation for the Regulatory Affairs Professional Society, which has important overlaps in several areas, most surprisingly comic books.

Related to my work on regulatory documentation, I have been publishing on the overlaps (and potential overlaps) with technical communication. I’ll have chapters in the forthcoming books on foundational knowledge in TPC (Schrieber) and TPC pedagogies (Klein).

In the past week, I was able to submit papers on dinosaurs, embodiment and epistemology as well as a paper about embodied representation and queer melancholia to journals. The dinosaur paper was vetted by members of the 2019 RHM symposium and also by my RSA mid-career writing group. The current work is on some archival research I did at the Bodleian library.
