Roxy Alexander

Research Focus

I am interested in the harms of pharmableism and the relationship between ableism and anti-blackness, particularly in relation to pharmaceutical interventions and neurodiversity. My current work examines how pharmaceuticals are technological objects and machines that shape human experiences, and how they can both enable and constrain individuals.

Method Areas: Qualitative and quantitative approaches including textual analysis, community interviews, and data analysis.

Theory/Interdisciplinary Areas: Bioethics, legal studies, social epistemology, feminist phenomenology, critical theories (feminist, queer, Black, and disability studies), and science and technology studies.

Application Areas: Health care, education, and digital spaces — examining inclusion/exclusion for disabled communities at the intersection of disability, gender, race, and technology.
