View submission: Active feminist medical anthropologists?

I assume you're already doing this, but who are you citing in your research papers/ MA Thesis? That's usually the best way to find a PhD Advisor.

Also, keep in mind that while your advisor is important, you also have (at least) two other committee members. I'm not a medical anthropologist, but I'd imagine that "critical medical anthropology" is the most central thing to your research.

It's totally possible to have your advisor be a medical anthropologist and the black feminist bibliography recommendations come from another member of your committee. Same thing with region. For example: I just saw a presentation by someone (currently a postdoc, unfortunately, or I'd recommend them as an advisor) working on really similar things in South Asia. You can always work with someone who does medical anthropology in a different part of the world, but get advice specific to Latin America/ the Caribbean from another member of your committee.
