Rebecca Crocker
Rebecca Crocker is an Assistant Professor of Research in the University of Arizona College of Public Health, where she uses her background as a medical anthropologist to take a community-centered approach to investigating the intersection of migration and health. As part of diverse and multi-disciplinary teams of scientists, she brings an ethnographic and contextual lens to deepen our understanding of the heavy burden of chronic disease and related complications affecting Mexican communities in the US Southwest, community levels sources of stress and resilience, the emotional experience of migration, traditional healing modalities, and binational barriers to medical care access. Her work has been widely published in academic journals of anthropology, public health, and ethnohistory, as well as applied reports designed to meet the needs of local service organizations and Tucson city efforts.
