Louise Lamphere

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louise Lamphere distinguished professor of anthropology at the University of New Mexico since 1986, she received her Ph.D. from Harvard in 1968.

Lamphere has published extensively throughout her career on subjects as diverse as the Navajo and their medicinal practices and De-industrialisation and urban anthopology, though she is possibly best known for her work on feminist anthropology and gender issues.

In 2005 Lamphere supervised an ethnographic team which examined the impact of Medicaid managed care in New Mexico. The team published their articles in a special issue of Medical Anthropology Quarterly. In her introduction, she emphasized the impact of increased bureaucratization on women workers in health care clinics, emergency rooms and small doctors offices.
