About
Nadia Karizat's research interests are situated in the fields of Social Computing, Women and Gender Studies (WGS), and Feminist Science, Technology and Society studies (STS), primarily investigating the connections between technology, power, bodily autonomy, and reproductive (in)justice.
Her research explores how technology shapes and is shaped by people’s reproductive health experiences and decisions, particularly in the U.S. context, where certain meanings and values are ascribed to technology, reproduction, and various reproductive futures/outcomes (e.g., [in]fertility, pregnancy). She is increasingly interested in how individuals’ or communities’ self-determination over their reproductive lives is configured by technology and processes of anticipation, specifically in cases of sociotechnical anticipation work to secure 'desirable’ reproductive futures.
A portion of her research also examines questions of the safety, trust, and privacy of sexual and reproductive health data, given the ubiquity of surveillance infrastructure and reproductive injustice.
