Biography

Dr. Allison V. Schlosser is an Assistant Professor of Medical Anthropology and faculty in Medical Humanities at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Her research draws on ethnographic and other qualitative research methods to examine the sociocultural, political, and economic contexts that shape drug treatment and harm reduction interventions; identity, subjectivity, and care in relation to drug use; and socioeconomic inequalities in access to care.

Teaching Interests

Dr. Schlosser teaches courses that draw on theories and methods from applied medical anthropology and medical humanities to explore pressing health and social issues such as drug overdose, mental illness, and housing insecurity. She teaches introductory courses in medical anthropology and medical humanities as well as advanced courses on the anthropology of drug use, addiction, and pharmaceuticals and the use of clinical ethnographic methods to understand lived experiences of health care.

Research Interests

Dr. Schlosser's research uses community- and clinic-based ethnographic research methods to explore drug use and health behaviors, lived experiences of addiction and mental health treatment (especially medication treatment), health care provider experiences of care provision, and lived experiences of housing insecurity. She has collaborated with scholars and practitioners across disciplines, including medicine, public health, communications, history, and social work. Her overall goal is to use applied anthropological research to improve services for people experiencing health, social, and economic hardships.

Service

Dr. Schlosser serves on the Department of Sociology & Anthropology's Engagement Committee, the College of Arts & Sciences' Educational Policy Committee, and the Medical Humanities Executive Committee. She is also an active member of several special interest groups of the Society for Medical Anthropology and the Society for Applied Anthropology, such as the Alcohol, Drugs, and Tobacco Study Group (ADTSG) and Medical Anthropologists and Social Scientists in Health (MASSH).
