Sarah Hodges ([email protected])

Sarah Hodges is Professor of Global Health and Social Medicine at King’s College London. Her research begins with the observation that “health is always more than a medical matter”. As a scholar of the medical humanities and social sciences, she uses these fields’ conceptual and empirical tools to ask big questions of nitty-gritty data. In particular, she explores the everyday lives of public health measures, moving between ethnography and archives. In one way or another, all her research is empirically rooted in Tamil-speaking south India. Before joining King’s in 2022, Sarah held positions at the University of Warwick, Cambridge University, SOAS, and was a visiting professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University. She holds an MA and PhD from the University of Chicago and a BA from Brown University.
