Justine received her B.A. in Anthropology and Medicine, Science, and the Humanities from Johns Hopkins University. Her research background is interdisciplinary and has addressed a wide range of concerns within the social sciences including public health, medical anthropology, and urban studies. Most recently, she was a Research Assistant at the Black Health Heritage Data Lab, where she worked on the advancement of health equity for Black communities in Providence, Rhode Island. Motivated by her personal experiences and academic research, Justine is passionate about bridging the gap between the medical sciences, social sciences, and disability studies. As a CAST-M student, she aims to research how disability cannot only be viewed in terms of a medical diagnosis but should be interpreted as the result of the interactions one has with their built and social environments.
