Research Currently in Progess
Root, R.(n.d.). A Medical Anthropological Study of Breast Cancer in Malaysia (suspended due to COVID, re-initiated in 2023). In Progress.
$12,000 PSC-CUNY/RF Grant: In Malaysia, an upper-middle income country in Southeast Asia, one in 20 women will experience the trauma of a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime. The remaining 19 will likely experience fear of such a diagnosis for the better part of their adult lives, and for good reason: breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths among Malaysian women. I am seeking an Enhanced Award for a medical anthropological study to investigate the cultural processes that mediate experiences of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer at a leading academic hospital in Malaysia. The study will be the first to contrast an etic survey instrument (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy), based on biomedical constructs, with an emic interview method (Explanatory Model Illness Catalogue), a hallmark method of medical anthropology, to investigate breast cancer. The study will contribute to the fields of medical anthropology, global health, and breast cancer literatures and used to apply for major grants. [I have a Malaysian collaborator, an epidemiologist at the University Sains Malaysia. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, I am unable to travel to the site and collect data currently.]
Root, R.(n.d.). Religious leadership and HIV/AIDS in eSwatini. In Progress.
I have one of the largest oral histories of pastors in Africa, based on field research I have conducted in eSwatini since 2005. I have currently delivered multiple presentations at international conferences on my preliminary findings and published related research in scholarly journals. In concert with my field research with emSwati chiefs, I anticipate a number of publications that utilize anthropological frameworks of resilience embedded in critical medical anthropology's neoliberal critiques of global health agendas to interpret pastors' complex roles, which are both conservative and progressive in western politico-religious terms. The roles that these two groups play in mediating substantial suffering and interpreting foreign donor and global health strategies are little explored and are relevant in several similarly afflicted regions around the world.
Root, R.(n.d.). The Politics of HIV/AIDS Care in Swaziland: Swazi Chiefs and the Provision of Church Run Home-based Care . In Progress.
This study (July 2016) was the sixth phase in a longitudinal medical anthropological project launched in 2005 to explore social aspects of HIV/AIDS in the country with the highest HIV and TB rates in the world: Swaziland. Specifically, I investigated experiences of traditional leaders (chiefs and indvunas) in a region I have been working for the past five years, as these leaders endeavor against enormous odds to alleviate the impact of HIV/AIDS and, for the past two years, extreme famine. As with traditional leaders throughout Africa, chiefs are tasked with legitimizing interventions by international organizations, serving as vital political links to other networks, resolving local conflicts, and facilitating the general quality of life of their subjects. In interviews, I was able to elicit insights on how traditional leaders experience their authority and, by the same token, how contemporary challenges have transformed their perceptions of their roles and their power.
