Emily Mendenhall

Emily Mendenhall (born 1982) is a medical anthropologist and Professor in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Her research considers syndemics, mental health, cultural idioms of distress, health politics and systems, migration and health, flourishing, and complex chronic conditions. She was awarded the George Foster Award for Practicing Medical Anthropology in 2017 from the Society for Medical Anthropology for her work on syndemics. In 2023, she received a Guggenheim Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation in recognition of her anthropological work on COVID-19.

Mendenhall has authored several books, including ''Syndemic Suffering: Social Distress, Depression, and Diabetes among Mexican Immigrant Women'' (2012, Routledge), ''Global Mental Health: Anthropological Perspectives'' (2015, Routledge, with Brandon Kohrt), ''Rethinking Diabetes: Entanglements with Trauma, Poverty, and HIV'' (2019, Cornell), ''Unmasked: COVID, Community, and the Case of Okoboji'' (2022, Vanderbilt), and ''Invisible Illness: A History, from Hysteria to Long Covid'' (California). In 2017 she led a Series in ''The Lancet'' on Syndemics, a theory of how and why social and health conditions travel together. Provided by Wikipedia
