Anne Kohler

On Division III
"The way in which she deftly and critically drew from the fields of the anthropology of religion, medical anthropology, and disability rights revealed Anne as an exceptional scholar and writer, skilled in multiple fields. The hallmark of a good project, Anne’s thesis stands as a thorough, complete analysis, frames an original, sophisticated argument, and still offers many new questions for future investigation. The committee congratulates her on an exceptional thesis, and looks forward to her future work. "

Post-Graduation
Applying to PhD programs in anthropology or medical anthropology. I am also currently working on an essay for a forthcoming edited volume by two doctoral candidates at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, tentatively titled "Circulations of Religion and Medicine in North America."
