| description | I had the honour of being a member of the first class of MSc students in
Medical Anthropology in Oxford in 2001. During the MSc I became
interested in the intersections of medical anthropology and public health,
particularly in considering how medical anthropology theory can be
operationalized to improve public health program evaluation. I went on to
complete a PhD in Anthropology and a Master's of Public Health in
International Health from Boston University, where my research focused on
the long-term impacts of oral rehydration therapy campaigns in highland
Guatemala. I then spent a year working with Arthur Kleinman at Harvard
University and, drawing on the foundational knowledge I gained from the
MSc, became further interested in illness narratives. I conducted postdoctoral research on illness narratives through the Oxford
Autopathographies Project, described here. I continue to investigate primary
health care delivery in Guatemala and co-direct the NAPA-OT Field School
in medical anthropology. I am currently Assistant Professor of
Anthropology and Public Health at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia. |
