Biography

Some of my research involves examining the impact of property rights on violence and HIV risk for women. Some of my research involves an examination of anti-violence and HIV prevention programs for men, with special emphasis on the social construction of masculinities and the role it plays in shaping health outcomes. Finally, some of my research involves critical print media analyses on health, gender, and the body, including the recent Caster Semenya controversy.
