Research and Teaching

My research has focused on the health and adjustment of immigrants and refugees to the U.S. from Arab countries, Iran, Afghanistan, Bosnia and the Former Soviet Union. Two recent studies of disability are pregnancy, birth and postpartum experiences of women with physical disabilities and an ethnographic study on multiple chemical sensitivities/environmental illness. I teach community health and cross-cultural nursing.

Professional Activities

I am active in the Council on Nursing and Anthropology and the Council on Refugees and Immigrants in the American Anthropological Association and the Society for Applied Anthropology. I am on the editorial board of Qualitative Health Research and Journal of the Transcultural Nursing Society and review manuscripts for six other journals.
