Research & Activities:
I am a medical anthropologist studying health policy and bureaucratic cultures in the Yukon Territory, in northern Canada. My research looks at the relationships between territorial and First Nation governments, asking how new approaches to a ‘therapeutic state’ are negotiated in the context of pressures to decentralize and devolve the policies and practices of care.
