I am an early career global health scholar based at the University of Amsterdam. I study how trust in health interventions and health & political institutions are influenced by ideology, political economy, welfare reform, and political discontent. My research uses medical decision making to better understand how public perceptions of rising inequality, climate change, gender and sexual discrimination, racial oppression, welfare state transformations, and political corruption impact distrust. I utilize methodologies like comparative policy analysis, interviews, and public opinion surveys to elucidate how people navigate ever changing health systems throughout the world.
