Her ethnography of an organ transplantation bureau, Matching Organs with Donors, was published by the University of Pennsylvania Press in 2012. She has acted as general editor for The Sociological Review (2017-22) and has co-edited with Anna Kirkland the international Research Handbook on Socio-Legal Studies of Medicine and Health (2020), the first resource of its kind bringing together scholars working on law, society and medicine from different jurisdictions and career stages.
