Dr. Jennifer Fraser is a Research Associate at King’s College London, based in the Department of Global Health & Social Medicine within the School of Global Affairs. Her work focuses on the politics of epidemiological knowledge production, with a particular emphasis on global North-South dynamics, Arctic and African contexts, and the interplay of social, technological, and scientific forces in shaping public health policies.
She holds a PhD from King’s College London (2022), where her thesis explored 'The Cold War on Cancer: Inuit and the Canadian Epidemiological Imagination.' Her current research includes a Wellcome Trust-funded project examining African cancer registration’s colonial origins and a study on hyperemesis gravidarum’s historical and personal dimensions.
Her research interests span the history of medicine, science and technology studies, medical anthropology, and reproductive justice. She critically examines colonial legacies in health data systems, Indigenous health governance, and the sociopolitical dimensions of disease mapping.
Her publications analyze topics such as Inuit cancer research’s colonial underpinnings, breast thermography’s Cold War history, and the colonial roots of cancer screening technologies. She contributes to interdisciplinary groups like the Reproduction Research Group and the Spatialities and Networks of Cancer cluster, which investigate cancer’s spatialization in global contexts.
