Research Interests

I have become increasingly concerned about civil society responses to emerging biotechnologies, many of which are proliferating faster than our governance mechanisms can handle. Much of my research, scholarship and teaching over the past several years have focused extensively on the ideologies and protocols that drive the uses of many of the genetic technologies that impact women’s bodies, indigenous peoples, people of color, agriculture and medicine. I have also looked very closely at the role of technology in emerging efforts to enclose the knowledge commons (trade related intellectual property) and indigenous peoples DNA, their plants and medicines.

Much of my work has also specifically linked the development of social and public policies with the misuse and/or abuse of medical science or scientific research, either by the state or increasingly through consumer choice paradigms that often exacerbate existing marginalization and discrimination. Hence, in assessing a legacy of gender, racial and class marginalization, I examine the implications of socially constructed theories of biological determinism for the exercise of human rights and access to social justice for women, the poor and people of color. Known in the past as state-sponsored Eugenics, my research considers the implications of the new face of Eugenics, namely, consumer driven Eugenics.

My research interests in recent years have focused on two issues related to the Hague Convention rights of the child and the global gestational surrogacy industry.
