Meredith Van Natta is a medical sociologist and assistant professor of sociology at the University of California, Merced. Her research explores the intersection of citizenship and science, medicine, and technology policy.
“Comparing immigrant-serving clinics across red, blue, and purple states, Meredith Van Natta captures with clarity and conviction the urgency of reforming both the US medical and immigration policy landscapes. Her careful analysis is both striking and humanizing, as she tells the stories of healthcare providers’ and patients’ heartache, fear, persistence, and triumph during critical political moments under the Obama and Trump eras. Medical Legal Violence is a must-read for anyone interested in immigration and healthcare policy in the United States.”
