PositionAssociate Professor

Research AreaCultural Anthropology, Medical Anthropology, Global Health

Research Topic
My research focuses on how illness experiences of people in different parts of the world are shaped by socio-cultural factors including gender, power, and violence.

Message
While health is a universal human concern, how certain illness is experienced by people can be strikingly different. Thus, exploring the issues concerning health and illness is to think about the commonalities and differences of the peoples around the world.
