Amy Krauss
Visiting Assistant Professor, Department of Anthropology at UC Santa Cruz
Amy Krauss holds a Ph.D. (2016) in Anthropology from Johns Hopkins University and is a Visiting Fellow at the Pozen Center for Human Rights. Her current book project examines feminist practices of care and solidarity across rivaling state jurisdictions of abortion rights and criminalization in Mexico City. More broadly, the project addresses critical questions of law and social change; urban healthcare systems and inequality; and the intersections of ethnographic research and feminist activism. She teaches courses on human rights and reproductive justice movements in Latin America and the U.S., and on the politics and ethics of representation in ethnographic, visual and literary depictions of pain and social suffering.
