Biography
Sienna Radha Craig is currently working as Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology, Dartmouth College, USA. As an Anthropologist she was invested in understanding the multiple ways that so-called 'traditional' medical systems interact with biomedicine: from patient-healer relationships and the cultural meanings people ascribe to suffering and affliction; to the wider socioeconomic and political circumstances in which medical practitioners are trained, healing occurs, and medicines are produced, evaluated, and distributed.
