Research

In addition to my new book, Live Like Nobody is Watching: Relational Autonomy in the Age of Artificial Intelligence Health Monitoring, my broader scholarship includes over 80 journal articles and encyclopedia/book chapters, many in distinguished publications such as Bioethics, Hastings Center Report, American Journal of Bioethics, Journal of Medical Ethics, Academic Medicine, the Journal of Clinical Ethics, and the Journal of Medical Genetics, among others. My collaborative research work has been supported by grant and fellowship funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Emerson Collective, Greenwall Foundation, and St. Paul’s Foundation.

This page features a small sample of my articles and book chapters. You can find additional articles on my ResearchGate page.
