Research interests
Her visual anthropological research focuses on efforts to modernise Traditional Chinese medicine and their implications on the relationship between species used in Chinese medicine and technologies that enable different ways of seeing the medicine. 'Following the herbs' she uses visual and graphic methodologies to communicate how people (doctors, pharmacologists, researchers in medicine and ecology, landowners, industry managers and workers) mediate this relationship in China, where Chinese medicine is institutionalised on a national scale, and in Europe, where transnational networks work to enable Chinese medicine on a much smaller, scattered scale.
