My name is Kelsey Armeni. I am a Phd student in Anthropology at the University of Colorado Boulder. My academic interests are broadly around medicinal knowledge systems, community-based harm reduction, violence against womxn, and caring relationships. My professional and personal experiences led me to anthropology and a curiosity with how different sociocultural, political, environmental, and economic factors shape practices of care and people's diverse experiences with healing, illness, and suffering.
