Aidan Seale-Feldman is an Assistant Professor of Medical Anthropology at the University of Notre Dame. She has spent the past decade conducting in-depth ethnographic research on global mental health in the Himalayas, a region with a rich tradition of shamanic healing that has recently witnessed the rapid growth of psychiatry, counseling, and new forms of mental health governance. Funded by the John Templeton Foundation, her current research project, Ethical Substance: Psychedelic Medicine in Times of Social and Spiritual Crisis” explores the incorporation of mystical experience in to the lives of secular Americans and their therapeutic practices. Her work has been published in Cultural Anthropology, Ethos, HIMALAYA: The Journal of the Association for Nepal and Himalayan Studies, South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies, and the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal. Dr. Seale-Feldman received her PhD in Anthropology from UCLA in 2018. Prior to joining the faculty at Notre Dame, she was a Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer in Bioethics at the University of Virginia.
