  PhD

  My PhD included interdisciplinary coursework in Anthropology and Psychology

  including social science and \"hard science\" approaches. My ethnographic dissertation fieldwork included spending three years engaging in research with a primarily homeless and disabled population

  including people in \"recovery\" from homelessness and disability who were running their own mental health services. This work turned into my first book

  Recovery's Edge

  published in 2015 with Vanderbilt University Press.
