Predoctoral Trainee in Anthropology

Daniel Krugman is a medical and linguistic anthropologist broadly interested in how ideas of social change are assembled, circulated, and mobilized—particularly in and through the morally charged arena of health. Focusing on discourses of change have been constructed and the possibilities of decolonial change within the fields of Global Health and population studies, his current project examines the “decolonizing Global Health” movement through collaborative and immersive ethnography with the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) in Nairobi, Kenya. Trained as a public health researcher at Johns Hopkins University, he has previously conducted research on refuge in Northern Uganda, the political economy of health communication in Coastal Tanzania, and understandings of decolonization among Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health faculty.

In his free time, Daniel is an avid cyclist, skier, and runner. He loves the Baltimore Orioles, his hometown baseball team, but also considers the Green Mountains of Vermont home.
