What is the relationship between everyday interaction and embodied experience?
I am a linguistic and medical anthropologist with an emphasis in psychological and biocultural medical anthropology, as well as a licensed practitioner of Chinese medicine. My work, very broadly, focuses on the intersection of language and embodied experience in relation to culturally situated ideologies of race, class, gender, health and selfhood. Integrating theories and methods from linguistic, psychological, and biocultural medical anthropology, my research emphasizes collaborative engagement and interdisciplinary approaches to advance anthropological understanding of human emotion; intimacy; physical &mental health/wellbeing; and embodied social justice.
