Zoe Boudart

I am a fourth-year MD-PhD Anthropology student in the University of Michigan's Medical Scientist Training Program. My research interests include science and technology studies, imaginaries, intersubjectivity, language, ethics, and high-risk obstetrics. 

 

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 complex prenatal prognostication and neonatal intensive care decisions relating to congenital anomalies within and around the Midwestern United States.
