Personal profile
Research areas
I work at the intersection of cultural and medical anthropology, phenomenology of the body and illness, arts and health, dance and performance studies, and embodied cognition. My work focuses on the human body as socio-cultural phenomenon, as an expressive, artistic and creative device, and the mean by which we make sense and experience the world.
Students Supervision
I welcome graduate and post-graduate students who are planning to work on projects related to socio-cultural aspects of embodiment, dance and performance practices, arts and health, illness experience, enthnographic, auto-ethnographic, artbased research and visual methods.
