Summary
I established the Patient Experience Research Centre with Professor Helen Ward in the School of Public Health in 2011.
I have recently completed research on a Wellcome Trust medical humanities project ‘People Like You’ on contemporary practices of personalisation in elements of health and medicine, digital culture and data science (2018-2022). My monograph, Rendering Houses in Ladakh, will be published by Routledge in early 2023. I was awarded the Eileen Basker Prize and the Wellcome Medal for Anthropology as Applied to Medical Problems for my 2007 monograph, On the Game: Women and Sex Work (London: Pluto Press). For other research, teaching and publications, please see my Anthropology page at Goldsmiths.
I studied social anthropology at Cambridge University, Stanford University, Ca., and the London School of Economic and Political Sciences, where my PhD (1989) explored spirit possession in Ladakh, North India.
