- Research interests
-
Christina works across disciplines and her research draws on medical humanities, disability studies, gender studies, narrative theory and critical race theory.
She is particularly interested in illness narratives, disabled embodiment, and experiences of care and self-care. Her current work focuses on the generative tensions between disability studies and medical humanities and explores how knowledge exchange with marginalised underrepresented disabled scholars can enrich and transform health research.
