About

I completed my PhD in medical anthropology under the supervision of Prof. Allan Young at the Departments of Anthropology and Social Studies of Medicine at McGill University in October 2010. Currently, I am a Postdoctoral Fellow funded by the Strategic Training Program in Global Health Research, a partnership of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Québec Population Health Research Network. I work under the supervision of Dr. Duncan Pedersen at the Department of Psychiatry and the Psychosocial Research Division at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute at McGill University. I have a long standing academic interest in the field of global health, in connection with organized violence, ethnic conflict, and complex emergencies, and their mental health outcomes. Within this broad field of enquiry, I am particularly interested in the social determinants of health and illness, gender based violence, trauma, PTSD, local idioms of distress, resilience, and local forms of healing as well as in the growing field of human rights and humanitarian and clinical interventions. I conduct ethnographic research in Kosova and the occupied Palestinian Territories.
