CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Corinne M. Hale is a doctoral candidate in cultural anthropology, with a focus on medical anthropology. Her research explores the intersection of reproductive health and migration and the complex layers of racism, xenophobia, and neoliberalism that affect the reproductive lives of migrants. Her dissertation research considers maternal health practices and systems of care among Haitian migrants and immigrants in the Dominican Republic. Hale explores how state governance influences anti-immigration narratives and restricts migrants’/immigrants’ reproductive autonomy and access to healthcare.

At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she has earned a Master of Arts in Anthropology and a Master in Public Health. During her time at UW, Corinne has supported four research studies through UW’s Collaborative for Reproductive Equity (CORE) regarding abortion provision in the Midwest.
