Curriculum Vitae

Marta Isabel da Silva Roriz de Matos

Social anthropologist, MA in Medical Anthropology, holds a PhD in Social and Cultural Anthropology awarded by the University of Coimbra. My research interests developed within the broader field of social studies of health, engaging more specifically with critical medical anthropology approaches. Currently, I'm a member of CIAS- Research Centre for Anthropology and Health, Department of Life Sciences of the University of Coimbra, developing my research within the political economy of health inequalities, especially as they are affected by neoliberal globalisation, with particular focus on obesity and metabolic diseases, and on issues at the interface of science, ethics, governamentality and public policy.
