Janelle S. Taylor, PhD (she/her/hers)

Professor, Department of Anthropology
University of Toronto
Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am a medical anthropologist, trained as an ethnographer, and I research social and cultural dimensions of medicine and care in North America. I have worked with interdisciplinary health research teams, and published in journals of medicine and gerontology as well as medical anthropology and cultural anthropology. Topics that my research has addressed include: fetal ultrasound imaging, advance care planning and medical decision-making at the end of life, conceptualizations of “culture” within medical education, the use of “Standardized Patient” simulations to teach clinical skills to medical students, and more. Recently, most of my research has focused on dementia and caregiving, and I am working on a book on this topic.
