She has been a visiting research fellow at Yale University and the American University of Cairo.  She has also collaborated with Ibis Reproductive Health and Cambridge Reproductive Health Consultants on applied anthropology projects that make reproductive health information available to a wide international audience.  With Ibis and CRHC, Lisa has been involved in the Arabic translation of the Emergency Contraception Website (http://ec.princeton.edu/Arabic) and the creation of a website with evidence-based information about medication abortion available in English, Arabic, French, Spanish, Farsi, and Turkish: www.medicationabortion.com

At Macquarie, Lisa is an award-winning teacher who runs ANTH106 Drugs Across Cultures, one of the university's most popular offerings, with over 1,500 students per year.  She has won university and national teaching awards, including Macquarie University's Vice Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence (2009) and the Australia government's Office of Learning and Teaching (OLT) Award for Teaching Excellence (2012).  She was also an OLT National Teaching Fellow (2012-2013).

Outside of work, Lisa is a volunteer wildlife rescuer and rehabilitator for Sydney Metropolitan Wildlife Services.  You can follow her animal rescues on Instagram: @fierceaussieanimals.

• Medical anthropology
• Reproductive and sexual health technologies
• Sexuality, love and desire
• Medicine and religion, including cyberfatwas
• The language of medicine
• Gender, identity and nationalism
• Egypt, Saudi Arabia and North America

Lisa's dissertation research and first book, Pyramids and Nightclubs, examined nodes of transnational contact that shaped modern Egypt, comparing the history of Western and Arab tourism in Egypt. The tourist economy in Egypt illuminates the creative projects of cultural and identity production that occur through processes at once mimetic and oppositional in encounters with national others.

Lisa's research later turned to ways that mimetic and oppositional encounters with others play out in the realm of sexuality, gender, and medical technologies.  Her research on these topics has been published in journal articles and her two co-edited books, Emergency Contraception: The Story of a Global Reproductive Health Technology (Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and Abortion Pills, Test Tube Babies, and Sex Toys: Exploring Reproductive and Sexual Technologies in the Middle East and North Africa (Vanderbilt University Press, 2017), both with co-editor Angel Foster.

Lisa's research on different disciplines' experiences of ethics review has been supported by Macquarie University, a National Teaching Fellowship from the Australian government's Office of Learning and Teaching, and a Discovery Project grant from the Australian Research Council.  Her research approach combines large-scale quantitative surveys with qualitative, in-depth, open-ended interviews to understand academics' embodied experiences of ethics review and situate these within broader national and disciplinary trends.
