Biography

Visit Professor Brewis' personal web page for much more detail about her bio/background, lab, research, teaching, and outreach activities. 

Alexandra Brewis (Slade)*, Ph.D., is a biocultural/medical anthropologist and President’s Professor in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University. She is an elected fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), is senior editor (Medical Anthropology) for Social Science and Medicine, and recently served as President of the Human Biology Association. As an ASU administrator, she founded the Center for Global Health in 2006 and served as Director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change (2010-2017) and Associate Vice President for Social Sciences (2014-2017).

Brewis' research uses an array of theories and methods from social science to unravel the complex and fundamental intersections between culture, health, environment, and well-being. The main focus is how low social position and resource insecurity interact with social meanings, daily experiences, and felt emotions to exacerbate the psychosocial stresses that worsen physical and mental health. Basically: to unravel the mechanisms that connect low power to worse health, to reduce human suffering and create health and well-being. To do this, she works with large, diverse, collaborative teams both in and outside of academia (local communities, international development agencies, other state and private institutions like hospitals or NGOs, and/or elected leaders) to translate anthropological research into sustainable, meaningful solutions.

Her research program has produced 7 authored books, 5 edited volumes, and over 200 journal articles and book chapters. One recent book (with Amber Wutich) is the prize-winning Lazy, Crazy, and Disgusting: Stigma and the Undoing of Global Health, described in reviews as a "boundary-breaking book that should be required reading for anyone interested in public health, medicine, and anthropology. It stands as an exemplar for public scholarship."

Alex was trained in human biology, cultural/medical anthropology, and demography at the University of Auckland, University of Arizona, and Brown University. Before joining ASU in 2005, she taught at University of Auckland and University of Georgia. Committed to innovation in instruction, she designed and launched the nation's first (and still largest) global health degree, has developed award-winning student abroad programs (in a dozen countries countries to date), co-leads a large social science laboratory on the Tempe campus where she collaborates on projects with around 30 undergraduate members each semester, and collaborates in research to test how we can best teach global health. 

*Alex prefers to go professionally by Alexandra Brewis, but her legal name is Alexandra Slade. Various hiccups in techno-bureaucracy means her name turns up variously in different systems as Brewis, Brewis Slade (no hyphen), Brewis-Slade (hyphen), and Slade. She happily answers to them all.
