Dr. Aidan Seale-Feldman

Co-host Em talks with medical anthropologist Dr. Aidan Seale-Feldman. Roundtable participants Em, Allison, Ben, and Jackson talk post-secular America, how to yearn, and cigarettes vs. no helmets.


Dr. Aidan Seale-Feldman is a medical and psychological anthropologist interested in affliction and its treatments. As a Professor of Anthropology at University of Notre Dame, Dr. Seale-Feldman has spent the last decade researching mass affliction, the rise of global mental health, and primarily Western humanitarian psycho-social intervention. On this subject, she has a book coming out in December with University of Chicago Press entitled The Work of Disaster: Crisis and Care Along a Himalayan Faultline, and she has also served as a main partner for the international project “Phantoms or Phantasies: Somatic Disorders and Embodied Experiences of Loss in Changing Therapeutic Contexts.” Dr. Seale-Feldman is currently leading an interdisciplinary project “Ethical Substance: Psychedelic Medicine in Times of Social and Spiritual and Social Crisis,” which is funded by the John Templeton foundation. Here, she examines the dissatisfaction with the current psychiatric establishment and the increasing cultural fascination with psychedelic medicine.
