My work focuses on the politics of medicine in the United States, particularly the ways in which healthcare is being shaped by neoliberal ideologies. One research project examines the organization of pharmaceutical clinical trials, especially those drug studies that are conducted in private practices and for-profit research settings around the country. My book on the topic (Medical Research for Hire: The Political Economy of Pharmaceutical Clinical Trials) was released by Rutgers University Press in November 2008. A second research project explores the social and organizational implications for hospitals of new tracking technologies that monitor the real-time location of equipment, patients, and staff.
