Biography

Jennifer S. Singh is an Associate Professor and the Associate Chair of the School of History and Sociology at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She holds a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California, San Francisco, and specializes in medical sociology and science and technology studies. Her research investigates the intersections of genetics, health, and society, informed by her experiences in the biotechnology industry and as a public health researcher at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Singh's book, 'Multiple Autisms: Spectrums, Advocacy, and Genomic Science,' examines diverse perspectives from scientists, activists, and families affected by autism as genetic research on the condition emerges. In addition, she researches social scientific understandings of diseases related to new medical technologies and looks into structural inequities in autism diagnosis and services across racial, class, and gender lines. As a co-founder of the Break Cycle Autism Disparities Working Group in Atlanta, she collaborates with experts across various disciplines to address autism service disparities across the lifespan.
