Dr. Felicity Aulino (University of Massachusetts), explains, “I am a medical anthropologist and ethnographic filmmaker, with primary area specialization in Thailand and a research focus on care for the elderly – particularly in relation to public health related statecraft, international humanitarian intervention, volunteerism, and caregiver subjectivity. I received a PhD in Anthropology from Harvard University in 2012 and a MPH in Health Behavior and Health Education from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health. These days you can find me in Massachusetts’ Pioneer Valley, where I am a Five-College Assistant Professor of Medical Anthropology and Global Health Studies based in the Department of Anthropology at UMass Amherst.”
