For this installment of the WashU Mindfulness Journal Club we are delighted to have Dr. Maddalena Canna joining us!
Assistant Professor Maddalena Canna (she/hers) is a sociocultural anthropologist specializing in global mental health, transcultural psychiatry, and the social studies of medicine. Her work explores the interplay between embodiment and consciousness, also called the “mind-body connection” across cultures. She has been conducting research in Afro-Indigenous societies (Nicaragua and Central America), in the US/Canada, and at a global scale.
Dr. Canna will be discussing her paper, "Dealing with the unknown. Functional neurological disorder (FND) and the conversion of cultural meaning".
