Sienna R. Craig is a cultural and medical anthropologist invested in understanding the multiple ways that so-called “traditional” medical systems interact with biomedicine and global health: 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. Her work is collaborative and interdisciplinary, applying critical medical anthropology perspectives to ground healthcare realities in transnational contexts, at the intersections of medical, humanistic, and social scientific ways of knowing, grounded in the lived experiences of patients, families, communities, and healthcare professionals.
