Camilo Sanz, Ph.D

Cultural anthropologist | Lucid dream practitioner

I am interested in questions of temporality, cancer care, biosocial determinants of health, with a geographical focus on Colombia and the Americas. My work draws upon diverse scholarly fields, especially medical anthropology, bioethics and science & technology studies.

​

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Oklahoma. 

​

In 2016 I completed my Ph.D in sociocultural Anthropology at the University of California, Davis. My Ph.D research examined how oncologists provide care for low-income cancer patients as they juggle the side-effects of the 1993 neoliberal health care reform in Colombia.

​

After graduation I became a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan, mentored by professor Elizabeth F.S Roberts in the Anthropology department.
