Associate Professor Megan Moodie is a co-Principal Investigator on an almost $95,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant to hold a cross-subfield anthropology conference. This conference is planned for March 2025 and is titled “Approaches to disability in anthropology: Creating space for convergence and innovation.”
She also recently co-authored the paper “Patients as knowledge partners in the context of complex chronic conditions,” in Medical Humanities. The paper engages expertise in patient-led medical research and lived experience of disabling chronic illness with collaborators from across the globe.
In July, Moodie was an invited panelist for the National Science Foundation’s Disability Equity Initiative Tipoff Event, “Access and Equity in STEM: Disability and Innovation in Fundamental Research.” This event brought together disability experts from across STEM fields to address NSF staff, including program officers and NSF leadership, on essential equity and access issues.
