About

Overview

Jessie is a medical sociologist with expertise in ethnographic and narrative approaches to studies of medical practice, technoscience, and health inequalities. Her main areas of research are: 1) the social practices and politics of organ donation and transplantation. Jessie's work in this area has critically examined the institutional production of ‘the minority ethnic organ donor’ and ethnic inequalities in transplantation, in the context of UK organ donation and allocation practices. Jessie is currently working on projects on the ethics-in-practice of organ donation after circulatory death, and an NHS Blood and Transplant funded evaluation of consent processes for interventional donor research 2) Critical approaches to the study of science, technology and medicine, which develops research at the intersections of the social, medical and natural sciences. Jessie's research in this area includes: narrative research on delayed diagnoses and outcomes in viral encephalitis; a study on contextual issues in rolling out clean fuel for cooking in Cameroon; and examining diagnostic problems and knowledge production in transplant, reproductive, and neurological medicine.
