Biography
Victoria Hall is a Socio-Cultural and Medical Anthropologist with a BA from the University of Cambridge, an MSc in Social and Cultural Anthropology (with a specialisation in Medical Anthropology) from the University of Oxford, and an MSc in Global Health from BSMS. She completed a PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. During her PhD, Victoria specialised in concepts of self, personhood, ontology, cosmology, and religious pluralism in the Himalayan region of North India (Uttarakhand). This was placed within a framework of interests in: the ethical and moral; health and practices of care; expressive form and perceptions of the embodied self; and socio-political and socio-economic differences and/or difficulties amongst migrant, refugee, and socially vulnerable groups. Her current research is building on these interests within the context of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), and with a specific focus on displaced, migrant, and refugee groups, communities, and persons.
