Research and Teaching Interests
My research in this area has attempted to investigate and critique the standard health economics approach to the conceptualisation of the individual and care, and to offer alternative prospectuses in these areas. This is of some policy relevance given that the allocation of resources within medical systems are partly informed by health economics.
