Eliza Brown is an assistant professor in the Sociology Department and a sociologist specializes in reproduction. She is particularly interested in temporality and anticipation, the role of money in medical interactions, and how medical providers and patients communicate about chance and risk, by using qualitative methods, including ethnography, depth interviews, and discourse analysis. Her work has been published in American Sociological Review, Social Science & Medicine, Sociological Forum, and Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
She is currently writing a book based on her dissertation research on how fertility providers and patients negotiate the chance of twins as a byproduct of fertility treatments (under contract with University of Chicago Press).
