In this enlightening episode, we are joined by Dr. Michelle Ramirez, a medical anthropologist whose work delves deep into women’s health, gender, and healing practices. With a PhD from the University of Iowa and an M.P.H. from Portland State University, Dr. Ramirez has conducted extensive fieldwork in both Mexico and the United States, offering a rich perspective on issues such as sexuality, gender roles, cancer survivorship, and the intersections of religion and healing, particularly Pentecostalism.

We explore her vast body of research and the critical importance of cultural understanding in medical practices, especially when addressing women’s health. Dr. Ramirez’s experiences and insights provide valuable context to the way health, gender, and culture intertwine, making this episode an engaging listen for those interested in anthropology, public health, or women’s rights.
