of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School. She is an

Through methodological and empirical research, she examines how interactions with
people, place, and technologies (re)produce and subvert order in educational and health
settings. FW's current projects focus on interactions in pediatric care, learning
health systems, local food systems, and learning environments in STEM, medicine, and

more humanizing, healing interactions, systems of care, and futures.
