Sarah Blacker
Sarah Blacker is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Anthropology (working with Denielle Elliott), and a Research Associate at the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies. Her current book project, Warding off Disease: Racialization and Health in Settler Colonial Canada, examines how public health and genomics initiatives tailored to racialized communities can exacerbate, rather than ameliorate, health inequities. Before joining the Department of Anthropology at York, Sarah was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin and a Lecturer in the M.A. Program in STS at the Munich Center for Technology in Society. Her research has been published in TOPIA: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies, PUBLIC, and Parallax, among other journals, and she has a forthcoming article in JRAI.
