Risa Cromer studies reproduction, abortion politics, and reproductive technologies from an anthropological and social-science perspective, with particular attention to embryo adoption, fetal personhood laws, and race and religion in reproductive decision-making in the United States. Related work examines menstrual health tracking and product access, as well as patients' experiences with pain assessment and clinical documentation in healthcare settings. The work combines qualitative and ethnographic methods to examine how law, religion, and technology shape reproductive experiences and healthcare interactions.
Publication output has been fairly steady at 2-4 papers per year for most of the last decade, with a brief gap in 2021 and a slight tapering in the most recent two years.
