Sienna R. Craig

The worlds of healing across culture, the meanings people ascribe to illness, and the social lives of medicines fascinate me. My work is also attuned to how people navigate processes of migration and social change – how families, communities, and cultures endure and support each other while living translocal lives. I am engaged in work on women’s and children’s health, global health, traditional medicine, and aging across cultures. My research takes me to the Nepal Himalaya and Tibetan regions of China, as well as to diasporic communities from these regions now living in the United States.
