She has recently released a book-length manuscript titled Bio-Imperialism: Disease, Terror, and the Construction of National Fragility (description below). She is currently working on a new project exploring Chinese Medicine as a key site for promoting health and wellness among communities of color and other marginalized communities in the United States.
