Erin Bergner

I received my B.A./B.S. from Tulane University and my M.P.H. from Emory University. My primary research interests include (bio)medicalization, health social movements, and qualitative methods. My dissertation is a multi-sited qualitative study on the medical management of intersex. I analyze changes in diagnostic and treatment processes over time and examine the role of technology, institutional factors, and grassroots activism in these developments. I also work at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Public Health. My current work includes research on mobile health interventions, men’s health disparities, and medical mistrust.
