Zoe Boudart, B.A.

I am an MD-PhD Anthropology student in the University of Michigan's Medical Scientist Training Program (M2). My research interests include critical medical anthropology, science and technology studies, care, imaginaries, materiality, reproduction, and substance use. 

 

My first project broadly explored one theme of my research interests, which is how institutions imagine and care for the populations they aim to serve, and in turn how those individuals experience the care they receive. The honors thesis, "Forms of Care: Understanding Patients and Providers in a Safety Net Clinic in Southeast Michigan," won the University's Marshall Sahlins Social Science Award.  

 

My next project involves leveraging the training path in medicine and anthropology to study the diagnosis and treatment of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (also known as Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome) within and around hospital settings in the Midwestern United States.
