I am Frances M. Howell, PhD. I am a scholar who is committed to using research to advocate for health equity in service of reproductive justice. My work integrates feminism and reproductive justice frameworks into psychological science and research practices. When I’m not busy conducting research, as an Associate Research Scientist, you can find me in my kitchen baking, or on my couch knitting and watching TV.

I have taught within the CUNY system at Hunter College and Medgar Evers College, as well as my alma mater The New School, and most recently Barnard College.
