(She/her) 2023 | MSc Social Anthropology, London School of Economics and Political Sciences

Sian is a recent graduate of the University of Oxford, Hertford College, where she studied Archaeology and Anthropology. Her research here focused on access to medical care in Ghana, specifically looking at the emergent medical pluralisms within clinical and native medical systems- an interest borne of her own experience of Deafness and multitude of ‘treatment’ pathways available globally.

She is now moving to LSE to complete an MSc in Social Anthropology where she plans to continue her research, with a particular focus on forced migrants and refugees and their access to medical treatment in medically pluralised social contexts. Particularly, she plans to analyse the legal implications of enforced limitations to certain treatments within refugee communities, and the consequential ethical implications.

Her other research interests include identity (particularly those facets of identity shaped by gender, disability, and religion), embodiment, gift exchange and phenomenology.
